About Utdanning.no

Utdanning.no is the official Norwegian national education and career portal. It includes an overview of more than 8000 Norwegian educations and 600 occupational descriptions.

Both education and career information have been developed in close collaboration with relevant institutions, such as study providers and professional bodies.

Utdanning.no also contains interviews with professionals and students, study descriptions and articles which have been designed to help prospective students choose education and career.

Educations

Utdanning.no collects over 8,000 educational programs from across Norway, annually. We also show opportunities for studying abroad. We collaborate with various actors in the education sector and receive study information from:

  • Universities, colleges, and vocational schools
  • Vilbli.no (upper secondary education)
  • Coordinated Admission
  • Folkehogskole.no (folk high schools)

The educational programs are entered through data imports, including from schools’ administrative systems, or via our partner sites.

To make navigation easier, we have created education descriptions that present all programs within the same subject or category, based on the Norwegian Standard Classification of Education (NUS).

Occupations

Our content team writes occupational descriptions and sends them to professional and industry organizations for quality assurance in a two-year cycle. Each occupational description includes one or more interviews with people in the profession, providing detailed information about the occupation. An increasing number of occupations include video interviews.

We also display statistics related to most occupations. The statistics show the relationship between education and which occupation people have, and are obtained from Nav and Statistics Norway (SSB). Salary information is obtained from SSB and professional organizations.

Interviews with people working in the various occupations can be found in the different occupational descriptions.

Articles

The content team writes articles that help and guide those who are choosing education and occupation. The articles are quality assured by relevant actors in the education sector.
