History

The story of UiT. In 2018, 50 years passed since Stortinget (the Norwegian National Assembly) enacted the establishment of a university in the northern region of Norway. Half a century later, UiT the Arctic University of Norway has firmly established its stature as a multidisciplinary university.

More than 20% of the academic staff and 10% of the student body are from abroad. The University offers more than 20 English taught master´s degree programmes, and all faculties offer English taught courses at both bachelor’s and master’s level.
