NMBU
Norwegian University of Life Sciences (NMBU), formerly the University of Environmental and Biological Sciences (UMB) and the Norwegian Agricultural University (NLH), is located in Ås in Akershus and is the central and leading research and educational institution in bioproduction, environment, and landscape. The university has several research institutes and academic environments in landscape, agriculture, forestry, horticulture, animal science, natural resource management, development studies, economics, and technological fields. NMBU has 5000 students and 1500 employees. Until 2019, the university had its own campus for veterinary environments in Oslo, before these were co-located in Ås.
The Norwegian Agricultural School was founded as the country's third higher education institution in 1859, the first being "The Free Mathematical School in Christiania" (the War School), while the second was the University of Oslo. Early on, the school in Ås also received a professorship in economics, the second in the country. This was meant to emphasize the importance of primary industries also within economic research. Land management is an important part of NMBU's fields of study.
Already in 1897, a study program in land consolidation was established – today called land consolidation. NMBU has Europe's oldest education in landscape architecture, established in 1919. When Norway received a nationwide planning and building act in 1965, a position in land use planning was created. At the Institute of Mathematical Sciences and Technology, candidates (engineers) are educated in various disciplines.
The school in Ås was granted university college status in 1897 and university status on January 1, 2005. Until January 1, 2005, the school was called the Norwegian Agricultural University College (NLH). From 2014, the institution was named the Norwegian University of Life Sciences after the merger with the Norwegian School of Veterinary Science (NVH).
