The Arctic Institution of Norway, or UiT, is located at the top of the earth, at the 70th parallel. It is the most northern university in the world. UiT is one of the top universities in the world for research into environmental science and climate change because of its distinctive situation. The institution sees it as part of its duty to preserve the Arctic and its priceless landscape. As a result, the institutions’ primary areas of specialisation in teaching are in the sciences, particularly those related to the polar environment, climate research, telemedicine, medical biology, and fisheries science. It also provides more broad topics including sports, business, law, and the arts. Indigenous Studies courses are only offered at a select few colleges around the globe, including UiT. The Sami locals and other indigenous peoples from across the world are studied in terms of their cultures, languages, laws, and histories in these units. There are English-language undergraduate and graduate courses offered by each faculty. UiT is one of the most globally diverse universities in the world, with 20% of its personnel and 10% of its students from from countries other than Norway. With smaller campuses spread out across northern Norway, the four main university campuses are located in Troms, Alta, Narvik, and Harstad. The primary location, Troms, is renowned for its historic wooden structures, some of which are hundreds of years old. At UiT, there are always 24 hours of daylight on the summer solstice. The lengthy days of the arctic summer are renowned. The long days of winter are, of course, followed by lengthy nights, although these are made more bearable by the regular appearance of the renowned Northern Lights.
