[EduCativ]

The Norwegian School of Sport Sciences (NIH) offers opportunities to study at Bachelor, Master, and Doctoral levels. The Bachelor and Master educations are taught in Norwegian. Individual courses are open to exchange students and are in English.
There are currently approximately 1600 full- and part-time students at NIH.
The education is of high international quality and gives the students competence relevant to our modern society's challenges and stimulates personal development.
The courses can be continued at the Masters's level, where the students have a range of different study modules from which to choose.
The School's 3-year Ph.D. program is a continuation of a Masters's degree in sport science. Other relevant Master studies can be approved as a basis for admission to the program. As of 2013, NIH has more than 70 PhD-students.
About half of the students at NIH are part-time students. The part-time courses consist of sports management modules, outdoor education, physical education, fitness, and elite trainer. A series of short courses and seminars are also arranged, often associated with other research environments or with sports foundations or sporting organizations.
The Norwegian School of Sport Sciences aims to increase its offer to international students. Many students at the School choose to undertake part of their education at institutions outside Norway.
Also, there are international students at NIH. These students are primarily organized under international exchange programs such as Nordplus or Erasmus.
The School has an Erasmus agreement with a wide range of universities in the Nordic countries and Europe. Our students also have the opportunity to study in Canada and the USA.
The Norwegian School of Sport Sciences faculty has a broad international network of research collaborators.
