Student Life
"Everyone got a job after graduating”
“I can safely say that everyone in my class got a job either before the master’s was delivered or over the summer,” says Sigrid Løyning who completed her master’s degree in spring 2020.
Life as a NMBU student is more than just coursework
NMBU is a place where you can be yourself with an ocean of exciting possibilities to get engaged both academically and socially. “It is a place where it is easy to make new friends,” says Tilde (22).
“My best advice: come to Ås!”
“The student environment at NMBU is very good and I had five absolutely fantastic years at Ås. I have made friends for life and built a good professional network with both professors and fellow students. These are friendships that I will take with me further into life,” says Marius Sauders. He now works as a national park manager in Nordland.
Why are students so satisfied with NMBU?
“Some students perhaps land on the more general universities a little randomly, because they don’t quite know what they want to do. NMBU has a clear profile, and we therefore see that many students have thought carefully about their choice before arriving here,” says Vegard Nilsen.
