Founded in 1987, Noroff initially began as a training and consultancy company, and has gradually developed into a school with a specific focus on digital media, information and communication services.

 

Presently, Noroff is a leading vocational school with a significant portfolio of courses spanning from creative content development to forensics and networked security.

 

Over the last few years all Noroff programs have received NOKUT approval. The programs at Noroff vocational school include:

 

  • Multimedia Design

Noroff also manages 4 secondary schools (videregående) located in Oslo, Bergen, Stavanger and Fredrikstad.

 

The Noroff partner network was established to ensure that students from the vocational school have an opportunity to complete a degree. A 2+1 arrangement has been in operation for many years and several hundred Noroff students have gained their Bachelor degree through this partner network. Many of these students have gone on to achieve a Masters degree.

 

The partners are:

 

  • Deakin University in Melbourne, Australia is a major university with more than 70000 students. Deakin is supporting the Noroff university college development with its expertise in the fields of digital design and media.

 

  • University of Teesside is also an active partner in the consortium. University of Teesside is one of England’s leading universities within the art of digital technology. The university also has a strong position in the fields of animation and games.

 

  • Glamorgan University in Wales is in particular contributing in the fields of digital forensics and digital network security. Presently, Glamorgan University is helping to establish a laboratory at Noroff that will give the students practical experiences with state of the art software and hardware in the areas of forensics and security. This laboratory can also be used in support of industry and public services such as the police.

 

  • AFDA Film School in South Africa is the latest partner in the Noroff family. AFDA is the leading institution in the region when it comes to film and TV production.

 

Noroff is currently in negotiation with several Indian schools and academic institutions regarding possible joint ventures.
