Abstract
In Norway there are 26 university colleges located all over the country. They vary considerably in terms of number of students, scientific positions, number of educational programmes etc. The smallest university college has a couple of hundred students while the bigger ones have 6–7000 students and 400–500 scientific positions. The central government funds all university colleges. The educational programmes are mainly undergraduate with a duration of two or three years. During the period 1970–1990 university colleges expanded rapidly both in size and number, and central government funded this expansion.
