Uniquely located at 70 degrees north, University of Tromsø - The Arctic University of Norway is the northernmost university in the world. Established in 1968, the University (UiT) is a modern, broad, high-tech university with outstanding degree programs at bachelor, master and PhD level in seven faculties: humanities, social sciences and education; medicine and health; science and technology; biosciences, fisheries and economics; law; fine arts; and sports, tourism and social services.
11 % of the 10,500 students and approx. 20 % of the 1,200 academic staff members are non-Norwegians. Student-teacher ratio is very favourable and the learning environment is truly international. One third of the master’s degree programs are taught in English and many of them are multidisciplinary. Like all Norwegian public institutions, there are no tuition fees at UiT. Located in urban Tromsø and surrounded by some of Europe’s last pristine wild nature, UiT is a unique study destination on top of the world.
