The Norwegian Agricultural Postgraduate College, forerunner of today’s Norwegian University of Life Sciences, was established in 1859. It was given full university status in 2005 after becoming a university college in 1897. The Norwegian College of Agriculture, as it was originally known, combined with the Norwegian School of Veterinary Science in 2014, and its name was changed to the Norwegian University of Life Sciences (NMBU). The university has seven faculties, including those for veterinary medicine, economics and business, environmental sciences and natural resource management, chemistry, biotechnology and food science, landscape and society, and science and technology. Both undergraduate and graduate courses are available for students to take. The institution conducts research in the areas of animal and plant science all throughout the academic year. Animal behaviour, breeding, and nutrition are among the aspects of animal science that are studied, in addition to quantitative and molecular genetics, feed production, and technology. The breadth of the university’s plant science research ranges from fundamental investigations into gene expression, molecular evolution, and bioinformatics to the actual application of biotechnological techniques to the growth of plants. The university is situated in s, a municipality in the eastern Norwegian county of Akershus. The Akershus Fortress in Oslo, the region’s capital and largest city, inspired the name of the traditional region of Akershus. Akershus has something to offer everyone, whether they prefer the peace of the shore, the bustle of the city, or a vacation spent in the great outdoors. Visitors can engage in a variety of activities, such as cross-country skiing, trekking the Kolsstoppen (a mountain with panoramic views), and swimming in the fjord.
