Mission & Interests

Goals: The University of South-Eastern Norway (USN) is the country’s newest University. USN is headed by Rector Pia Cecilie Bing-Jonsson. The Rector reports to USN's Board, which is chaired by Professor Tore Isaksen. We have around 18,000 students and around 2,200 staff, spread over eight campuses: Drammen, Vestfold, Kongsberg, Ringerike, Bø, Notodden, Porsgrunn and Rauland. The University of South-Eastern Norway aims to have a regional foundation yet internationally competitive, and with eight campuses, we have a strong and clear presence in one of Norway’s most exciting and dynamic regions. Increased internationalization of education and research is a key goal for the University. USN is an internationally oriented, regionally based and entrepreneurial university with a strong work community and with society and industry as close collaborative partners. Through professional and industry-oriented research and education, the university contributes knowledge and skills.
