BI Norwegian Business School, a private, independent, specialized university institution which opened 70 years ago, welcomes students from all over the world to study and research with top educators in a beautiful setting. Take a look!

What is BI Norwegian Business School?

BI Norwegian Business School is one of Europe’s largest business schools welcoming more than 20,000 students. Their programs provide a stimulating and multi-cultural learning environment with an international outlook ultimately providing students with professional skills to meet the increasing needs of businesses.

What makes BI Norwegian Business School so great on an international level?

BI Norwegian Business School was first established as a night school by Finn Øien in 1943. BI has always focused on being innovative and future-oriented. As early as 1963, the decision was made to concentrate on languages at the school and a modern language laboratory was purchased. Four years later, BI purchased the school’s first computer. At this time, there was only one other computer in Norway, can you believe it?

Foreign exchange became more and more popular both in and out of Norway, especially in terms of their Bachelor and Master programs.

International MSc exchange programs

Education is just like business, becoming increasingly global. The majority of companies report that they favor candidates with international experience. That is, in part, why all our MSc programmes offer an exchange for one semester. The partner institutions on the graduate level are carefully chosen to match the academic level ensuring you a quality education.

BI offers four different two-year, full-time Master of Science (MSc) programs that are taught entirely in English and have been designed to provide professional skills to meet the increasing need of businesses. They give you the best platform to launch into your career.

• MSc in Business

• MSc in Financial Economics

• MSc in Strategic Marketing Management

• MSc in Leadership and Organizational Psychology

Ever heard of Double Degrees?

Double your insight, double your network and double your potential! The Double Degree program involves studying towards two graduate degrees, at two internationally acclaimed institutions, and completing them in the same time that it would take to earn one degree. This means that:

• you spend the first year at BI, and the second year at a partner institution
• you fulfill degree requirements of both institutions
• you receive two Master of Science degrees

This program makes sure you are one step ahead of the competition!

What do students say?

Meet Jonas, who studied at BI for a whole year on an Erasmus program.

– One very positive aspect about BI is that they offer courses with a lot of group work and small classes. All in all, the study program is great and the professors are always friendly and helpful.

As many other visitors to this country, Jonas enjoyed the beautiful nature:

– I am so fascinated with the breathtaking landscape of Norway, with its unique fjords and mountains.

Between his lectures and seminars, he found the time to visit the „Paris of the North“ – Tromsø. He even had the luck of spotting the Aurora Borealis:

– Two of my highlights were definitely the dog sledding tour and the Northern Lights, he states.

Apart from the nature, Jonas also appreciated how easy it was to be a foreigner in Norway.

– People are very multicultural and open, he explains.

– I can really recommend BI for all potential students, whether as exchange or as full-time students. I wish I could have stayed longer, and I will always remember the great times I had and the great people I met there.
