Study Abroad Programs Norway

Norway’s cities are modestly sized, but immodestly beautiful. The quaint streets and picturesque waterfronts can easily be explored on foot or through their extensive networks of public transport.

The Norwegian capital, Oslo, is an extremely pedestrian-friendly city that offers many amazing vantage points overlooking its harbor and the surrounding mountain-scapes. Oslo offers ongoing free events and attractions every day. Explore canals and cobblestone alleys, view The Scream at the Edvard Munch Museum, be amazed by Norway’s fascinating history at Norway’s National Gallery, and then wander the Vikingskipshuset, the museum of the Viking ships Oseberg and Gokstad.

Beautiful Bergen is also a popular city for study abroad in Norway, due to its proximity to some of the country’s most dramatic fjords. Funiculars, hiking trails, and panoramic views will help international students appreciate the beauty of the city. The colorful wooden houses in the center lend a fairytale air to the city, and a touch of magic to any experience of studying abroad in Norway.

If you would rather lose yourself in rural areas, you will be poised to experience unforgettable outdoor adventures by choosing to study in Norway. You can learn a new mountain sport, like skiing, whitewater rafting, hiking, climbing, or mountain biking, or you could kayak on glacier lakes, visit the Runde bird sanctuary, an island of puffins, or hike and climb the Folgefonna Glacier. The fresh air, clean water, and abundance of space make studying abroad in Norway perfect for nature lovers.

I chose to start at ACN because I’ve always dreamed of studying in the U.S. Colleges in the U.S. require general education courses, and ACN provides the perfect opportunity to complete those requirements while preparing for a smooth transfer. ACN is also a great place for students who are still figuring out their path. The student counselor is always available to offer guidance and support, no matter what questions you may have. Another highlight worth mentioning is the unique 1-credit course that includes a trip to Svalbard, the northernmost inhabited place on Earth which offers a once-in-a-lifetime learning experience.

I studied abroad at ACN for one academic year and overall had a great experience. The staff was always trying their best to help me from getting a visa to moving in to figuring out my next steps after ACN. Since it is a small college, I got to know everyone really fast which helped me feel connected even when living abroad. It's easy to get to Oslo and the airport from Moss which made traveling very easy. Studying abroad helped me grow as a person and helped me make so many connections.
