What makes us stand out as an employer?
At Kristiania University College, we have a long tradition of being a challenger. As Norway's first correspondence school, we gave people with a thirst for knowledge from all walks of life the opportunity to get an education. For over 100 years, we have educated students that society needs. In the autumn of 2021, we were able to welcome a record number of new students, both on campus and online. It is a great credit to all our employees that so many people, both young and adult, want to expand their knowledge precisely with us.
Kristiania University College is an institution with a long history and plenty of ambitions. At the same time, we are forward-looking, and we cultivate interdisciplinary collaborations.
At Kristiania, each student is seen and closely followed up throughout their course of study. This degree of presence makes high demands on all our colleagues.
We are an accredited university college with a solid economy. We are an independent and non-profit educational foundation. All financial surplus is used to strengthen the academic and learning environment. This gives us room to manoeuvre. At Kristiania there is a short way from proposal, to decision, and implementation.
Our five core values are guiding for all the work we do here at Kristiania. We are practice-oriented, generous, ambitious, creative and tolerant. Perhaps ambitious is the value that makes Kristiania stand out as an employer. We are systematically developing towards becoming Norway's first independent work-life university. This goal characterises everything we do at Kristiania.
In the heart of Oslo and Bergen, we have large and modern learning environments that give students and staff the best impulses for learning and networking. As an employer, we emphasise a strong academic environment with collaboration across the organisation. At Kristiania, we have in recent years increased our focus on research and artistic development work. We have an active international research environment with research projects in fields ranging from human interaction and technology, to how physical activity affects learning among children.
Kristiania University College is an institution with a long history and plenty of ambitions. At the same time, we are forward-looking, and we cultivate interdisciplinary collaborations. This combination makes us a unique employer.
