Welcome

Opened in 1995, UWC Red Cross Nordic is the UWC in the Nordic region. Sponsored by Nordic governments and the Red Cross, the College focuses on the promotion of humanitarian, environmental, Nordic values and concerns.

The college is located in the beautiful fjord region of western Norway. It has 200 students, aged 16-19, all selected on merit from over 80 countries.

Founded in 1962, United World Colleges (UWC) is the only global educational movement that brings together students from all over the world – selected on personal merit, irrespective of race, religion, politics and the ability to pay – with the explicit aim of fostering peace and international understanding. Today there are thirteen United World Colleges located on five continents.

UWC Red Cross Nordic
is a beautiful place
and is full of
vitality and character.
It is truly a
kaleidoscope of humanity.
In these pages we will try
to give you a sense of who
we are and what we do.
You will begin to understand
why our patron,
Queen Sonja of Norway,
has publicly called the college, "mitt hjertebarn"
- "the child of my heart".
