Information in English

If you are looking for a unique academic opportunity in a friendly community, then Nesna is for you! 

Nesna University College is located in Nesna, a coastal community with about 1,900 inhabitants. Although small, Nesna has a lot to offer in an idyllic setting.

The college is situated just south of the Arctic Circle in Nordland County, and only a short distance (70km) from Mo i Rana, a more metropolitan town with an airport and train station. Thanks to the warm waters of the Gulf Stream, the climate is less severe than might be expected of the county's latitude. The Atlantic ocean, fjords, mountains and surrounding countryside provide excellent opportunities for outdoor life and recreational activities such as sailing, kayaking, mountaineering, hiking, skiing, or fishing… just a few of the exciting possibilities that make Nesna University College an excellent choice for the student in search of a unique educational opportunity.

Helgeland and Nordland County are characterized by a large number of small rural schools on islands and in small communities. Many research projects conducted at Nesna University College are based on work in small rural schools and kindergartens. This gives our research and teaching a dimension which has been of interest to larger schools in more urban areas as well. Experiences drawn from teaching in small rural schools have proven to be useful in the "differentiated" teaching of multicultural groups of pupils.
 

Nesna University College prides itself on its ability to provide an exceptionally convivial community atmosphere that allows students and staff to develop unique working relationships unavailable in a larger setting. The college is also popular because many students prefer the intimate student environment that is found here.

It is our sincere desire that all of our students will look back with a sense of joy and satisfaction at their time spent at Nesna University College and that the unique experiences available here will prove to be a valuable contribution in preparing and motivating them for a lifelong pursuit of academic excellence.
