The Norwegian University of Life Sciences was founded in 1859 as the Norwegian Agricultural Postgraduate College. In 1897 it became a university college and in 2005 it was granted full university status. It was formerly known as the Norwegian College of Agriculture but in 2014 the university merged with the Norwegian School of Veterinary Science and was renamed the Norwegian University of Life Sciences (NMBU).

There are seven faculties at the university including biosciences, chemistry, biotechnology and food science, economics and business, environmental sciences and natural resource management, landscape and society, science and technology, and veterinary medicine. Students can study courses at both undergraduate and graduate level.

Throughout the academic year the university carries out research in the fields of animal and plant science. The areas of animal science that are researched include animal behaviour, breeding, and nutrition, as well as quantitative and molecular genetics, and feed production and technology. The university’s plant science research covers the entire chain from basal studies into gene expression, molecular evolution and bioinformatics, to the practical use of biotechnological methods in the development of plants.

The university is located in ?s, a municipality in Akershus, eastern Norway. The traditional region of Akershus is named after Akershus Fortress in Oslo, the region’s capital and main city. Akershus offers something for everyone, whether that’s tranquillity by the coast, urban city life, or an outdoors holiday in the countryside. There is a range of activities available for visitors to enjoy including swimming in the fjord, hiking the Kols?stoppen (a mountain with panoramic views), or cross-country skiing.
