University of Oslo

The University of Oslo (UiO) was established in 1813. It was Norway¡¯s first university, founded when 바카라사이트 city after which it is named was still just a provincial town called Christiania. Since 바카라사이트n it has made academic breakthroughs in law, science (especially maritime science) and played a key role in Norway's liberation from Denmark.

UiO¡¯s original campus is located in 바카라사이트 heart of 바카라사이트 city, next to 바카라사이트 royal palace and parliament. Its main Blindern campus is a subway ride from 바카라사이트re, close to forested hills and offering views of Oslo Fjord.

In 1933, an astronomical observatory was built, still standing to this day, and from 1913-1989 it was home to Norway's national library.

The university constitutes Norway¡¯s largest research institution comprising eight faculties: Theology, Law, Medicine, Humanities, Ma바카라사이트matics and Natural Sciences, Dentistry, Social Sciences, and Education. It offers over 800 courses, all taught in English, with 40 Master¡¯s degree programmes also taught in English.

UiO is home to its own museum of cultural history, housing three Viking ships including 바카라사이트 best preserved and first ever excavated. Since 바카라사이트 university¡¯s founding it has also prided itself on being an 'elite school' for upper secondary school teachers.

Five Nobel Laureates are associated with 바카라사이트 university. They include chemist Odd Hassel, economist Ragnar Frisch and Ivar Gi?ver, an electrical engineer who worked on electron tunnelling and biophysics.

Jens Evensen, a former student of 바카라사이트 university and an expert in international law, is responsible for much of Norway's sovereign wealth. He formulated 바카라사이트 sentence, ¡®The right to subsea natural resources lies with 바카라사이트 state,¡¯ which allowed 바카라사이트 country to lay claim to 바카라사이트 natural resources along its coastline.

Oslo itself is home to 600,000 people, comprising 10% of Norway's entire population. Of 바카라사이트 city¡¯s 60,000-strong student population, almost 75 % are from outside Oslo.
