Fantastic experiences close to nature

Do you dream of long trips with a rucksack on your back and nights spent in a tent? Do you want to fill your days with mastering outdoor life, in the company of good friends? Whether you are an outdoor noob or a pro, this is a major that offers fantastic experiences, close to nature. This is the major for you who want to discover new aspects of yourself through wonderful nature experiences, and simply want to be good at being outside.

Versatile outdoor life

To explore - to explore, a term that covers a lot and embraces a wide range. The same goes for this major. We focus on a versatile outdoor life with a wide range of activities. We visit many different activities over the course of a year, and you get to explore both near and far nature areas. We are on a trip in the mountains, in the forest, on fresh water and on the fjord.

We have several "major weeks" where we have our major all week. We use these for projects that take some time. Then we are usually on a trip for four to five nights. Whether with skis under your feet in February or with a canoe on the water, there are great opportunities to get close to nature with a slightly different perspective.

International student at Nordvestlandet folkehøgskole!

As an international student at Nordvestlandet folkehøgskole you will attend to the "International course". Here you will learn the Norwegian language.

You will combine this with one of our nine "major subjects" whithin sports, outdoor life and arts. This way you will experience one year at a traditional Norwegian folk high school while learning the Norwegian language at the same time. The school has 100 students and about 10 of these are foreign students with no knowledge of the Norwegian language. These students constitute the international course.

We have much experience in hosting internationals, and strive to give you the best information in how to apply and to get here.

Nordvestlandet folkehøgskole is located in the county Møre og Romsdal which is famous for its beautiful nature and many fjords. Among them the Geiranger fjord which is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
