📖Introduction
Oslo Metropolitan University is a state university in Oslo and Akershus in Norway. It is the result of the merger of many former vocational colleges in the Greater Oslo Region. The OsloMet story dates back more than two centuries. Our programme in midwifery was established in 1818, and several of our other study programmes are the oldest of their kind in Norway.
In 2018, after a succession of mergers, we gained university status—no small feat in Norway, where the criteria are quite strict. Since then, OsloMet has continued educating professionals who are sought-after. OsloMet is committed to educating professionals and producing knowledge vital to sustaining and expanding the welfare state. OsloMet researchers seek to better understand the challenges and opportunities facing the welfare state in an era of technological change and globalization.
OsloMet is an urban university with a diverse academic profile and a clear international orientation. Through the research we conduct and the students we educate, OsloMet seeks to respond to the needs of society and the labour market. OsloMet is forward-thinking and committed to adopting new technologies and innovative solutions that improve the way the university is run.
OsloMet will take a hands-on approach to meeting the needs of society and employers. The study programmes will be of high international standard, based on research, close contact with professional practice and up-to-date, student-active forms of learning. The University's research will be relevant and capable of solving the challenges of tomorrow. OsloMet's graduates will be educated to be engaged citizens who recognise the importance of, and are motivated for, lifelong learning. OsloMet's staff will conduct themselves in accordance with the university's values. The organisation will be well run and professional.
