Norad

The Norwegian Council for Higher Education co-operates with Norad in two educational programmes:


Norad's Programme for Master Studies (NOMA)
On 27.04.2006, SIU and Norad signed the agreement on the new Norad's Programme for Master Studies (NOMA) for the programme period 2006-2010. The new programme replaces the Norad Fellowship Programme (NFP), which has existed for forty years. Norad has recently forwarded a letter to Norwegian universities, specialised university institutions and university colleges outlining the main elements of the new programme. The aim of all educational activities within the NOMA is to educate staff in public and private sector as well as NGOs in the South. Masters programmes will to a greater extent than earlier be established and developed in the South in close collaboration with Norwegian institutions. The needs and priorities of the countries in the South will be the basis for building relationships for cooperation between the partners in the South and in Norway.

The Norad Programme in Arts and Cultural Education
The Norad programme in Arts and Cultural Education (ACE) is a programme for cooperation between institutions for cultural education in the South and partners in Norway. The Programme aims to contribute to the strengthening of cultural education institutions in the South by means of joint activities and professionalisation of artists and art forms, and supports the development of degree programmes for students at the South institutions.
