Both type of schools offer programmes at the bachelor’s level and tailor-made continuing and executive education programmes to local business life.
BI is a future oriented business school. This not only shows in the research and teaching carried out but also in the commitment to constantly update and improve teaching facilities. In August 2005, the school opened its new main campus in Oslo, which in every respect is the “Business School of the Future”. This campus is centrally located in an emerging and pulsating business area in Oslo and all the international programmes are taught here.
BI Norwegian Business School’s new campus was designed by Niels Torp who is one of Norway’s most famous architects.
