Study, Work, Volunteer and Travel in Norway


Norway, The Land of the Midnight Sun, is blessed with immense natural beauty (with its mountains, fjords and glaciers); rich atmospheric traditions that come down from the Medieval era; and one the highest standards of living in the world. Norway is the current top-ranked nation in the UN Human Development Index, which is based on literacy rate, education level and per capita income.

This Nordic country occupying the western portion of the Scandinavian Peninsula in Europe is home to a proud people who value their independence and prosperity highly. The Norwegians rejected membership of the then European Economic Community in 1972, and of the European Union in 1994, despite being urged by their governments to vote positively.

The capital of Norway is Oslo, also the largest city in the nation. Oslo is one of the most expensive cities in the world. As of 2006, it was ranked tenth according to the Worldwide Cost of Living Survey provided by Mercer Human Resource Consulting and first according to the Economist Intelligence Unit.
