Study in Horten
Social, exciting and close to the business community.
Horten is a knowledge city that attracts smart minds from all over the world. As a student here, you have many opportunities. The business community in the city and the University of Southeast Norway collaborate closely and benefit greatly from each other.
Why study in Horten?
All studies are closely linked to working life, so that you not only get a job that suits you, but also fits society. So you actually get to use your knowledge.
As a student at USN, you are assured of research-based education. This means that the teaching at university level is based on the best research in the field. University education is based on current and new knowledge.
Active campus life
The university is located between Horten and Tønsberg and although the offerings in the cities are good, you don't necessarily have to go that far to live an active student life. On the Vestfold campus you will find football pitches, volleyball courts, sports halls and your own fitness centre.
Studying here is sociable. Many of the students live right next to campus, so there is activity here 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 cafes, or throwing a party.
