University of Bergen

University of Bergen


The University of Bergen (UiB) is a state-funded university which was formally founded in 1946.
The University has six faculties covering most of the traditional disciplines. A total of sixty departments, centres and institutes are included within the faculties.
UiB currently offers a variety of Master’s degree programmes taught in English.

The University of Bergen’s campus is mostly situated in the heart of the coastal city of Bergen, Norway's second city.
Bergen is in the south west of Norway. It has an international airport with daily connections to Amsterdam, London and Copenhagen.
Admission to undergraduate studies in Norway is conducted via The Norwegian Universities and Colleges Admission Service (NUCAS).
UiB does not offer any undergraduate programmes taught in English. Admission for bachelor’s degree programmes requires proficiency in Norwegian.
All applicants must have a good command of both Norwegian and English language requirements in order to meet the Norwegian Higher Education Entrance Requirements.
The application deadline for bachelor’s degree programmes is 1 March (this deadline applies to students who meet the Norwegian language requirement).
Mayfield Consultants have been compiling league tables since 1995 and, early on, recognized the potential of a dedicated web-based university guide. The Complete University Guide was launched in 2007 in partnership with Constable & Robinson, independent publisher since 1795.

The advantages of the web are obvious and all of the compilers are now strongly developing their own sites. The tables can be interactive and are put into perspective by surrounding text thus allowing users to generate their own bespoke tables based on their individual preferences.

The Guardian University Guide (compiled by Intelligent Metrix) is available online and remains free to access. A basic tenet of The Complete University Guide from its inception is that there should be no cost to the user. There is ample evidence to suggest that buyers of guide books are skewed towards the higher socio-economic groups. In summary, there are a variety of ways to access university league tables but they are not uniform and certainly not all commercial.
