Study in Horten
Social, exciting and close to the business community.
Horten is a centre of knowledge that attracts smart heads from around the world. As a student here, you have tons of opportunities. Local businesses and the University of South-Eastern Norway enjoy close collaboration and benefit greatly from each other.
Why study in Horten?
All USN studies dovetail with working life, so that your perfect job will not only suit you but society too. And you actually get to use your knowledge.
As a student at USN, you are assured of research-based education. That means your tuition is based on the best research in the field. Up-to-date and at the cutting edge of new knowledge.
Active campus life
The university is located between Horten and Tønsberg, and while the town and city have a lot to offer, you don't have to go that far to live an active student life. On the Vestfold campus you’ll find football pitches, volleyball courts, sports halls and a separate fitness centre.
Studying here is sociable. Many students live right next to campus, so there’s activity almost 24/7. Having so many people in one place makes it easy to find things to do with fellow students, such as reading together in the library, hanging out at one of the cafés, or throwing a party.
