The University of Oslo (UiO) is Norway's oldest and largest university, with a strong Department of Informatics that runs research and teaching in network and systems security, cryptography and secure software. Its English-taught master's programme in Informatics offers a specialisation in information security.
UiO's security research spans formal methods, applied cryptography and the security of networked and distributed systems, with ties to national initiatives and industry. Public tuition is free for EU/EEA students, with only a modest semester fee.
Located in the capital, the university benefits from close links to Norway's public sector, research institutes and a growing technology industry, giving students applied exposure alongside a solid theoretical foundation.
