'''Norwegian School of Veterinary Science''' ({{langx|no|Norges veterinærhøgskole}}) or '''NVH''' was a [[public university]] located at [[Adamstuen]] in [[Oslo]], that educated [[veterinarians]] and [[Paraveterinary workers|veterinary nurse]]s as well as research within [[fish medicine|aquatic medicine]], [[food safety]], [[comparative medicine]] and mammalian diseases, health and welfare. The institution had about 450 employees and 500 students. Parts of the research were conducted in [[Tromsø]] and [[Sandnes]].
On 6 January 2014 the school joined with the [[Norwegian University of Life Sciences]] in [[Ås, Akershus|Ås]], and by 2020 it will be completely relocated to the same location.<ref>{{cite news|title=Stusser over nytt navn|last=Bolghaug|first=Espen|date=28 December 2013|work=Dagens Næringsliv|page=16|language=Norwegian}}</ref>
==Programs==
===Veterinary Medicine===
A total of 70 students were accepted to the veterinary medicine courses each year at NVH. The program was a 5.5 to 6-year professional degree/ [[Master's degree|Master]] program leading to the title [[cand.med.vet.]] This is the only veterinary program in the country and one of the most difficult studies to be accepted into.
===Veterinary nursing===
NVH accepted 30 students each year for a two-year course in veterinary nursing.
===Master of Science programs===
The institution also offered two two-year [[Master of Science|Master]] programs within the fields of [[fish medicine|aquatic medicine]] and [[food safety]]. About 15 applicants were accepted on each of the two English language courses.
===Doctor studies===
About 15 candidates were awarded the [[Philosophiae Doctor]] each year from NVH. It was based on a 3+1 year model, with three years of studying and research, and one year of work.
