Noroff Education

About Noroff

People with digital competence and creativity are in extraordinarily high demand. Many of today's jobs will disappear, and far too few job applicants have the knowledge and skills to cover the industry´s current and future needs. People’s skill sets need to be developed, and education is the solution.

Our value proposition

Digital transformation happens continuously and has become a part of working life as natural as the lunch break. Therefore, regular professional training is needed to remain relevant in the job. Noroff has educational offers for everyone, no matter where you are in your life and career. Noroff is part of the solution.

We have programs that are not only future-ready but also practical and in-demand by today's employers. Our students will learn what is needed now, and we will have a close dialogue with the industry to ensure that our programs are as relevant as possible.

Our teaching staff maintains a high standard and has practical industry experience. Every year they prepare thousands of students for the jobs employers are struggling to find people for.

Noroff delivers education adapted to all phases of life through flexible educational courses. We focus on digital teaching, both online and on our modern campuses in Oslo, Bergen, Stavanger and Kristiansand. Our teachers are hands-on and eager to give everyone an excellent learning experience.

We are Norway's largest Higher Vocational College and have several bachelor programs with an attractive combination of practical and theoretical expertise. For working professionals, we also offer effective boot camps to top-up your skills in digital subjects.

Our vision and mission

Our vision for the future is “a world where the education of today meets the needs of tomorrow”. We contribute to this future through our mission to “provide people from all walks of life with the knowledge, skills and competencies required to build next-generation careers.”

Simply put, our commitment is to keep everyone up to date, formulated by our two strategic goals: To deliver employability and an excellent student experience.

Employability is delivered through what we teach – all courses are designed to meet industry needs and to arm each student with state-of-the-art skills to maximize job readiness. Industry integration is key when developing, producing, and teaching new and existing courses.

Student experience is fundamentally about maximizing the students’ chances of success and is delivered through how we teach. We serve a broad range of people, from young students to businesses and working professionals, and the learning experience needs to cater to people from all walks of life. This requires us to adopt new technologies to deliver flexibility, engaging and effective learning, strong student communities and perfecting both the online and physical learning environment.

Our values

To accomplish our mission and our goals of delivering employability and an excellent student experience, we must all work together and pull in the same (and the correct) direction. This is easier said than done. To guide our everyday decisions, we have created a cultural foundation expressing clearly which behaviours we value the most in our organization.
