Østfold University of Applied Sciences

Østfold University of Applied Sciences is a state university college in Halden, in the county of Østfold. The institution's register name is Høgskolen i Østfold, and it is owned by the Ministry of Education and Research (Kunnskapsdepartementet). Its DBH institution code is 0256. It was founded in 1994.

The institution is a university college, not a university. NOKUT, the Norwegian agency that monitors higher education, places it in the university college / university of applied sciences category. The DBH register lists it as a state college (Statlige høyskoler).

Study in Norway, the national directory run by HK-dir, lists two English-taught degree programmes here, both at Master's level. The subject recorded for these programmes is Computer Science. That is the full picture the directory gives: two Master's programmes, in one subject area, taught in English.

For an international student, the practical steps are straightforward. You apply through the institution's own system, not a central national portal. Students from outside the EU/EEA need a study permit from UDI, the Norwegian immigration directorate. EU/EEA and Swiss students are normally exempt from tuition at state institutions. Other degree students pay an institutional fee. Check the institution's website for the details that apply to you before you apply.
