New Universities and Colleges Act

A new act for universities and university colleges has been created (only in Norwegian yet) and entered into force 1. August 2024. The act contains regulations for all aspects of higher education, from the institutions’ overall responsibilities to the representation of students in governing bodies at all levels. The act will be augmented with regulations that are now being adapted.
