Oslo Metropolitan University

The University College in its current form came into being in 2011 when Oslo University College and Akershus University College merged.

HiOA offers a unique range of professional programmes that qualify students for professions that will contribute to future welfare and value creation.

HiOA will create value for individuals and contribute to knowledge development in society as a whole. We will contribute to future welfare and value creation by educating practitioners with high levels of professional ability and high-impact skill sets, and facilitate lifelong learning by providing continuing and further education. We will develop relevant knowledge by researching problems within and between the professions and by developing new products and services. This will provide HiOA with good opportunity to influence welfare policy and to serve as an important contributor to policy making by decision-making bodies.
