Candidates are also eligible for other positions in business and public administration. This applies primarily to areas related to the development, management or marketing of properties, but also to other positions in finance and accounting, business development, financial consulting, marketing and other administrative functions.

Have you considered the possibility of going abroad during your studies?
It is possible to go on an exchange semester during the second year of study if the partner institution offers courses that can replace the compulsory courses in the exchangesemester at Nord. It is also possible to take credits at a summer school that can replace a course. The bachelor's degree is largely aimed at Norwegian conditions with several courses related to Norwegian laws and regulations. This limits the options for exchange.
You can find more information about the exchange here.
