Oslo and Akershus University College of Applied Sciences Oslo and Akershus University College of Applied Sciences (HiOA) is Norway's largest state university college, with a student body of 18032 students and 1 965 employees. HiOA has four faculties located at two campuses: Pilestredet (in Oslo’s city centre) and Kjeller (northeast of Oslo). HiOA also has a study centre i Sandvika (west of Oslo). HiOA offer more than 50 bachelor programs, 25 master programs and 6 PhD programs, and several courses and post-qualifying educations.
New knowledge, new practice The University College in its current form came into being in 2011 when Oslo University College and Akershus University College merged. HiOA offers a unique range of professional programs that qualify students for professions that will contribute to future welfare and value creation. Requirements for new knowledge and new services are at the crossroads between the established disciplines and the professions. There is a need to educate well-qualified, professional practitioners with sound professional knowledge and cooperative and change management skills. Through dialogue and cooperation between research, education, society, business and industry, results and expertise are shared and solutions are created for a continuously changing world. Close cooperation with the fields of practice will bring new knowledge and new practice into a world that is facing new challenges.
Moving towards university status The adopted objective for the new university college is to achieve university status and develop into one of the leading universities in the Nordic region with a professionally oriented profile. Oslo and Akershus covers a region that is experiencing rapid population growth and, consequently, will experience a growing need for a qualified labor force in the years to come. There are major issues to be resolved in the areas of education, health, technology and the environment. HiOA’s objective is to make a stronger contribution towards the development of this region.
Professional programs - Proximity to professional fields HiOA provides education that qualifies students for employment in the health and social services, education, and public administration, media, design, arts, and for technical and business administrative positions in business and industry. HiOA emphasizes the combination of high academic standard and proximity to professional fields. The teaching is based on the latest advances in research, development and experience.

The programs aim at developing students’ skills in theoretical analysis and reflection. Several of our programs involve supervised professional training where students can try out their future professional roles. This combination of theory and practice is a distinguishing characteristic of professional study programs, and adds to the challenge of studying at HiOA.

Flytoget departs from the airport every 10th minute. You have to buy your ticket to Flytoget in advance (from the vending machines or from the service desk), to get access the platform.

Please observe there are different vending machines and service desks for Flytoget and for NSB’s regional trains. These trains also depart from different platforms.

10 What to do in Oslo?
Oslo hosts several higher education institutions, the largest being the University of Oslo. The total number of students in Oslo counts around 70,000. Although the city is a rather small capital with approximately 500,000 inhabitants, Oslo can boast of activities for almost anyone. You may choose from a wide range of cinemas, theatres, art galleries and museum, international restaurants and cafes. For those who enjoy the night scene, Oslo has a busy nightlife, including one of the best live music scenes in Northern Europe. The heart of downtown Oslo is on the waterfront, where cruise ships from all over the world find their way through the Oslo Fjord. There are also many small islands and beaches, which during the summer can be easily reached from the city centre. The centre of Oslo houses many shops, galleries and museums to visit. You may for instance visit the Munch museum, the Museum of Modern Art, the Akershus Fortress and the Holmenkollen Ski Jump. To the north, the city borders on a hilly forested area with lakes, rivers and several thousand kilometres of paths and trails, for skiing in the winter and hiking and cycling the rest of the year. It is easy to move around in the capital even if you don't have a car. The public transport system is extensive and is the easiest means of travelling. Most people walk, cycle or use public transportation. Oslo is surrounded by magnificent scenery from the fjord to the forested hills. The excellent public transport system will take you to the small islands for a swim as well as to the ski- slopes for winter activities, or the many paths for hiking and cycling.
