A recent reform (the quality reform in higher education) has introduced the international bachelor and master degrees into the Norwegian system of higher education. Volda University College offers a wide range of bachelor degrees. Seven master programmes are also offered.
Norwegian is the main language of instruction, but the University college also offers courses in English for exchange/study abroad students.
Through educational programmes the University College collaborates with institutions of higher education in all Nordic countries as well as other European Union (EU) countries. In addition, we have bilateral agreements with institutions and organisations in Europe as well as in the USA, Africa, Asia and Australia.
We wish you a warm welcome as a student at Volda University College and will do our best to make your stay an enjoyable and successful one. We strongly recommend you to take part in all the various events going on and around campus. For more information please visit “Pangaia” – our international meeting point – in ground floor Berte Kanutte. We will be waiting for you there!
