Wide variety of courses

Erik Povea from Equador
Why NHH?
- What caught my attention at first was the idea of getting high quality education, tuition free. In addition, I was looking for a cultural challenge. It is in those circumstances you grow the most. In the end, what truly convinced me was the wide variety of courses where I can freely choose, and that they were in line with my career interests; applied economics. Moreover, it is hard to resist the Norwegian high standards of living.
What do you like the most about NHH?
- I am very pleased with the quality of my professors. I praise not only their knowledge and experience, but also the openness towards their students. They are committed in providing us with all the necessary tools to succeed. I also like the flexibility of NHH’s study programmes. It is easy to see how courses update every semester to include forefront issues and needs demanded from the labour market. Finally, I have not experienced any difficulties finding useful information online. On the website, you find all the important information in both Norwegian and English.
What are your plans after graduation?
- Currently I am planning to apply for the PhD programme at NHH. I would like to stay in Norway a bit longer in order to complete further studies or to get work experience.
