The Bachelor’s degree programme in Organisation and Management was new in the autumn of 2005, and is one of the most exciting and innovative programmes in this field in Norway. The programme combines broad competence in personnel management with innovation and contractor operations. The programme is both theoretic and practical. The students get practice through the student trainee arrangement which is part of the third academic year. Here, they will get the opportunity of being placed in businesses, voluntary organisations or public management, and get practice in "the real life" before they are introduced the working life. They may also start their own student business.
The programme provides the students with a broad and thorough introduction to central disciplines related to the work with management, organisation and personnel issues in the modern working life. The programme combines insight into both social science, sociology, political science, psychology, law and some economy. Through this multidisciplinary approach, the students should acquire knowledge, analytical skills and attitudes that prepare them for management, development and strategy in public, private and voluntary organisations.
Study period abroad
The university college will arrange for a period of study abroad in the 5th semester.
Further education
The programme is an independent education, but it also provides opportunities for further Master’s degree studies in Norway and abroad.
