Welcome to the Master in Energy, Natural Resources and the Environment at NHH
The Master in Energy, Natural Resources and the Environment is one of the specialisations within the two-year Master of Science (MSc) programme in Economics and Business Administration at NHH. After finishing the programme you will end up with the title MSc in Economics and Business Administration.
This website is rich with information about the Master in Energy, Natural Resources and the Environment programme, about NHH – Norway’s leading business school, about becoming and being an international MSc student at NHH, and about living in Bergen and Norway.
We recommend that you take the time to look through all the pages related to the MSc programme as many of your questions will be answered there. Here are some quick links to help answer some of the core questions you may have:
Flexible programme structure
The Energy, Natural Resources and the Environment programme has the following general structure. It consists of twelve courses and a thesis. Students select six courses that relate directly to the Energy, Natural Resources and the Environment specialisation and the remaining six are elective courses. Four of these elective courses can be combined to make a minor specialisation. The programme is wholly taught in English.
- Programme start: mid August
- Programme duration: four semesters
The International Strategy class went on a field trip to the Coast Center Base at Ågotnes in the fall of 2009. Learn more about their experiences.
Global opportunities
All MSc students at NHH are encouraged to take at least one semester on exchange at another leading business school elsewhere in the world. Through membership of CEMS and PIM (Partnership in International Management) and through bilateral agreements, NHH has exchange partnerships with some of the leading institutions for economics and business administration in the world.
MSc students at NHH can also combine their studies with the CEMS Master's in International Management programme, and qualify with two internationally recognised qualifications.
Career opportunities
NHH is in a fairly unique position where the students themselves have taken on the responsibility for profiling NHH with potential employers and for helping their fellow NHH students find jobs, with the full support of the school.
This entrepreneurial situation has proved very successful. The unemployment rate for NHH graduates in 2005 was less than 4% six months after graduation, and the graduate average salary ranks amongst the best for masters programmes in Europe.

Programme cost
In Norway the best education is free. The core Norwegian cultural values of fairness and equality combined with the benefit of the wealth provided by North Sea oil, has led to the state in Norway funding a high quality higher education sector. A result of this distinctly Norwegian funding arrangement is that demand for places is high. As resources are not limitless, high admission standards ensure that although the best is free in Norway, only the best students get in.
