NHH students happy with their studies

The national Studiebarometeret 2023 survey shows that NHH students are among the most satisfied students in Norway. ‘No doubt that it's an attractive school,’ says Kjersti Nøttum Haaland (23).

‘One of the things that makes NHH so attractive – and the reason why I thrive – is the opportunity to combine my studies with everything that happens in our Student Association,’ says bachelor’s degree student Kjersti Nøttum Haaland (23) from Haugesund.

She is not surprised by the great results from Studiebarometeret 2023, which measures how satisfied Norwegian students are with their study programmes. The survey was conducted by NOKUT, commissioned by the Ministry of Education and Research

The bachelor's degree students give their overall satisfaction a score of 4.3 points out of five points. That is 0.3 points higher than the national average. Overall satisfaction measures how satisfied students are with their study programme in general.

In answer to the same question, the master’s degree students in the Economics and Business Administration programme gave a score of 4.2 points.

Have their own Head of HR

Haaland knows the NHH students better than most people. She is Head of HR, a new postion at the Executive board of  the Student Association (NHHS). 

‘The position was created because we wanted to strengthen the human aspect in NHHS; in other words, to strengthen our work within inclusion and welfare,’ she says.

High on relevance to working life

As in previous years, NHH excels in several questions about relevance to working life. The bachelor's students give 4.3 points when asked whether they feel that representatives from the business community contribute to teaching. In answer to the same question, the master's students gave a score of 4.2 points.

The survey also shows that the master’s students feel that they are given good information about which occupations/sectors are relevant to them, with a score of 4.1 points. 

‘NHH educates candidates so that they possess the knowledge and expertise that are highly sought-after in the domestic and international labor markets. I’m therefore pleased to see that we achieve such a high score when it comes to relevance to working life,’ says Stig Tenold, Vice Rector for Academic Affairs at NHH.
