Main University Homepage

BI Norwegian Business School will be a leading business school in Europe attracting the best students and excellent faculty, both in terms of research and teaching. With the best minds on our team we are going to have an impact on international research, on the students' learning, and on the practice in the business and public sector.

Our purpose is to build the knowledge economy and improving businesses through empowering people.

Oslo is Norway's Capital and the city with the largest population. It is also the governmental and economic centre of the country fostering most of its baking, trade, and industry affairs. It has been ranked "Beta World City" by the Globalization and World Cities Study Group and Network.Natural light and open spaces give the BI campus the sensation of a small village; a place where everybody can feel at home. However you prefer to study, there is a place for you.

The building is covered by a glass ceiling and comprises four blocks on seven levels. The open and transparent campus building exposes the activities in the building to the surrounding streets and public spaces. The open terraces, galleries, small nooks and quiet areas thave been created as special meeting places and to add life to the building.

The escalator in the centre of the building goes only one way - up! It leads to the Library, which stretches over the two top floors. In this sunniest and most transparent part of the building. Any student will find a work space to meet their needs and desires, be it group rooms and AV rooms, silent zones, social meeting areas or a comfortable chair by the windows overlooking the city. However you prefer to study, there is a place for you.
