NHH Norwegian School of Economics (reviews)

NHH is a top business school in Norway and it is also a public university. Considering that, the cost of education is free here and hence, I did not have to pay for my Masters. Additionally, this university offers a wide range of majors to choose from. In the first year, you are allowed to pick several electives and choose a path for you based on your liking. You are allowed to switch at the end of the year. Not every university is this supportive of one’s changing preferences. Additionally, they provide market-preferred skills. For instance, recently, they started Data Analytics as a major. I would rate my two years in NHH as 8/10 because of the ease and support they provided throughout the degree, specially in my thesis period. I didn’t opt for any exchange program however, there are several you can choose from.

It’s the best business school in Norway, located in the beautiful mountain city of Bergen. The Masters program allows a vast choice of specializations and courses to choose from. Plus NHH is Norway’s representative in the CEMS exchange program.

I was part of 2019 Masters batch. My major was Finance and it was a two-year program. One of the major reasons why I chose it for being free of cost. Public universities in Norway offer free education even for international/Non-EU students and this was a deciding factor for me. Additionally, the application process was very straight-forward and easy.
As far as the university is concerned, I would like to mention the good things first. The university had an accessible location with clean and budget-friendly dorms. Additionally, the faculty was supportive. Most of them made sure that they organize guest speakers so that we stay connected to the corporate world. Bergen, as a whole, is a small metropolitan city so people are used to calmer surroundings would find it very serene.
On the downside, Norway is an expensive country to live in, even though education is free. There is a language barrier in the corporate world because it is very difficult to find a company which uses English as their primary language. Overall, the experience was good for me and after a while, I managed to find a job as well.

I have had a reasonable time in the university during my stay in 2017. I have been there for one year and went on a dual degree program for the second year. During my one year program, I found several positive points there. For instance:
1._The university has a competitive, international environment
2._Enough events for international students to be part of
3._Career related events and skill programs
4._Responsive faculty

However, I still found some things that could be improved on:
1._Language barrier in terms of general communication
2._Less career options for non-native speakers
3._Small city with limited student life
