Historyedit
1914 – Norsk Korrespondenceskole (NKS)edit
In 1914, the founder of the institution, Ernst G. Mortensen, decided to launch education through correspondence courses. His aim was to make education available to everyone, regardless of their location. Norsk Korrespondenceskole (NKS) grew from 125 students in 1914 to 9 000 students in 1929.[citation needed]
In 1939, Ernst G. Mortensen was rewarded the title Knight of The Order of St. Olav, an award given for "distinguished services rendered to Norway and mankind".[2][3]
2016 – Kristiania University Collegeedit
On 27 March 2015, the Norwegian government decided that structural changes and mergers of several universities and colleges in Norway was needed. As a response to this, Kristiania decided to merge Markedshøyskolen, Norges Kreative Høyskole, Norges Helsehøyskole, NKS Nettstudier and Høyskolen Campus Kristiania to one entity: Kristiania University College. The architectural firm Snøhetta was involved in creating the university college's new visual identity. The expansion also continued, and the foundation incorporated Westerdals Oslo School of Arts, Communication and Technology to its portfolio in 2017.[4]
Student lifeedit
The Kristiania University College Student Union (SHK) is an independent organization run by and for the students. Its purpose is to cater to the students' interests and ensure their opinions are heard by the board, various industries and the community as a whole.[5]
