The Student Chaplain
The Church of Norway (Lutheran denomination) has assigned 2 student chaplains for work among university students. Regardless of your religious background or belief the student chaplains welcome students who find themselves in a troublesome or difficult life situation, or who want to discuss more fundamental questions.

The chaplains can also give information on church services and the different Christian student associations working on campus. The offices are located on the central University campus.

The State Church of Norway
The Evangelical Lutheran Church is the official state church of Norway. Among the most prominent independent denominations are Roman Catholics, Methodists and Baptists. A number of religious and ideological organisations work especially among students.
