The University of Oslo (UO) is situated in the capital of Norway – Oslo. As the largest city in Norway, Oslo is the country's financial and administrative hub. With picturesque parks and forests within the city boundaries, nature is never far away either.

With the campus and some student villages located very close to the woods, students can easily go for ski trips or cabin trips after classes or on weekends. The “Walk in the Woods” and “Sleep in the Woods” trips organized by the International Office are highlights of many exchange students' experience in Norway. Yet with downtown just as close to the campus as the woods, those who prefer clubbing and shopping will feel right at home too.

So here's your chance to dance till dawn, then hike around a mountain lake to catch the sunrise, and finally crawl back to crash in the comforts of your warm cosy bed!

UO offers courses mainly in arts, humanities, law and medicine, and can claim Four Nobel prize winners.
