The students who take a Master's Degree in International Development, Education and Sustainabilities at OsloMet have diverse backgrounds both from Norway and other countries. In this programme, English is the main language.
Norway – a country associated with peace, oil and free education
Urban knew little of Norway when he moved here to study.
"What I associated with Norway was peace and oil," he says.
In the classroom at OsloMet he felt included and welcomed in the group, which sometimes had hefty discussions.
It is not a one-way communication from the lecturer talking to the students, the students also contribute to the education. That gives us many more perspectives and much more knowledge about the different subjects and issues discussed.– Urban Ankamah
Fellow student Brita Phuti has also enjoyed the good discussion climate during the lectures.
"Many of the students are quite mature, so they have had many experiences before they started attending this Master's Degree programme. They bring these into the discussions in the classroom and contribute to making the education even better," she says.
