School of Arts, Design, and Media

With its 1,600 students and 120 academic full-time equivalent positions, the School of Arts, Design, and Media is the largest creative and art-related environment at university and college level in Norway.

The subject portfolio includes both creative and performing arts within writing and performing arts, music and music production, film and TV production, communication and various design subjects. The education programmes are characterized by a close relationship with the field of practice, and the knowledge and knowledge production of the subjects are closely related to both research and practice.
