20 years as a university
The University of Stavanger was granted university status in 2004.
Prior to that, it was known as Stavanger University College.
In 1966, central politicians in Stavanger decided to regulate 1300 decares, equivalent to about 200 football pitches, at Ullandhaug for a university area. The foundation for the University of Stavanger was laid.
Today, there is a historical aura over the Ullandhaug campus. From here, we look down on Hafrsfjord, where Harald Fairhair swung his sword in 872 and united Norway into one kingdom.
At the same time, students can enjoy an increasingly rich campus experience. Two of the newest additions are the Energy central and the Welfare Building.
