Although founded in 1936, NHH has a modern campus located on a cliff top overlooking the sea just outside the centre of Bergen. It is the sea that has provided Bergen, as a city of trade, with access to overseas markets and today ferries, cargo vessels and pleasure boats ply the waters in front of the school as it watches over the historic port city.
All the research and teaching facilities are located on the same campus, together with the student accommodation and sports facilities. The student union (NHHS - Norges Handelshøyskoles Studentforening) is one of the most active in Norway, with both social and business related activities.
As a place to study, there is no better city in Norway than Bergen. With over 30,000 students in the city, there is always of things happening night and day. Bergen Bands have started to make it o the world stage, continuing a tradition dating back to the composer Edvard Grieg, who came from Bergen. And sandwiched between the mountains and the sea, it is never far to go for a trip in the mountains, a swim in the sea or to simple enjoy the breath taking scenery at the doorstep.
It is a combination of the study and research environment, the student life, the historic city of Bergen and the beautiful setting provided by the mountains and sea that really make NHH a special place to study.
