University of Stavanger Development of the University of Stavanger has been called “the Ullandhaug fairy tale”. Following a meeting at the mayor’s office in spring 1962, a university committee for Rogaland was established. The first challenges were to establish university level education in the county and acquire a 120 hectare site at Ullandhaug. A university fund was established and the Stavanger Municipality, Rogaland County Council and local companies contributed with significant amounts. The committee presented a strong recommendation that Norway’s fifth university should be situated in Stavanger. It was to take over 40 years to reach this goal. The first step was to establish the Rogaland District College (Rogaland Distriktshøyskole). The first building stage was complete in autumn 1974. The previous year Rogaland Research (Rogalandsforskning, now IRIS) was established and the research library (Forskningsbiblioteket) was opened in 1975. The Stavanger Teacher Training College, Rogalandsdata and Norwegian School of Hotel Management (Norsk Hotellfagskole) were also established in the area. Over the next 30 years, the District College was changed and expanded through mergers, name changes and several building stages. The University of Stavanger (UiS) was officially opened by King Harald V on 17 January 2005. A determined strategic effort, broad support at the local political level, economic strength in the region and efforts in the central decisionmaking apparatus had made this event possible.

UiS lies in a central yet rural location at Ullandhaug, approximately 4.5 km from Stavanger centre. UiS has about 8 000 students and 1 000 employees. The aim is to increase the number of students to 9 000 by 2020. UiS has almost 100 000 m² at its disposal. The university has a variety of teaching, research and development activities and is organized in three faculties, Arts and Education, Social Sciences and Science and Technology, all in the campus at Ullandhaug. In addition, the Institute of Music and Dance is located in idyllic surroundings at Bjergsted. Above: Auditorium Left: Canteen and foyer Below: Map of university area with main buildings
