Global perspectives from the top of Europe

This page presents a quick introduction to MiB and ENE programmes at NHH – Norway’s leading business school – based in Bergen. This page is directly sourced from and linked to the official presentation of MiB and ENE programmes to take you for a thorough exploration.

Flexible programme structure

The Master in International Business as well as the Master in Energy, Natural Resources and the Environment are two of the eight specialisations in the two-year Master of Science (MSc) programme at NHH, and are wholly taught in English. The general structure of each programme consists of twelve courses and a thesis. Students select six courses that relate directly to their specialisation and the remaining six are elective courses. Four of these elective courses can be combined to make a minor specialisation.

• Programme duration: four semesters

Career opportunities

The NHH brand has always been a strong asset for Norwegian graduates to have on their CV or resume, and NHH graduates continue to be in high demand.The low unemployment rate and high average salary of our graduates indicate the high esteem placed on them by employers.To learn more about career opportunities, please refer to the Careers section of the official website (MiB, ENE).

Programme cost

In Norway the best education is free. The core Norwegian cultural values of fairness and equality combined with the benefit of the wealth provided by North Sea oil, has led to the state in Norway funding a high quality higher education sector. A result of this distinctly Norwegian funding arrangement is that demand for places is high. As resources are not limitless, high admission standards ensure that although the best is free in Norway, only the best students get in.
