The other universities are NTNU, University of Bergen and University of Tromso. Being situated in a social democracy, the fee for attending this university is very low: 880 NOK (approx. 80 USD) per year.


The university has faculties of Theology, Law, Medicine, Arts, Mathematics and Natural Sciences, Dentistry, Social Sciences and Education. Some of these are situated in the central part of Oslo, while most of them lie in a part of Oslo called Blindern.
