Opptaksreglene endres fra 2027: tilleggspoeng for høyere utdanning, fremmedspråk, kjønn og folkehøgskole fjernes. Historiske poenggrenser er derfor ikke direkte sammenlignbare med framtidige opptak.
Noen studier — blant annet ved private høyskoler, Politihøgskolen og Forsvaret — har egen søknadsvei utenom Samordna opptak. Sjekk alltid HVL egne sider for detaljene.

Lærestedets egen beskrivelse av studiet, slik den er publisert i Felles studentsystem.
The course is interdisciplinary and focuses on the interaction of ecological documentation and geological source interpretation within a changing environment. The main concept is (a) to understand the formation of selected ecosystems based on bedrock geology, glacial geology and fjord hydrography; (b) to describe these selected ecosystems using glacial and marine ecology, fjord biology, hydrography and limnology; and (c) to conclude on the significance of fjord and freshwater sediments for the interpretation of environmental change along ecological gradients. The understanding of the total process provides an effective tool for the identification and timing of environmental and climate change.
The course consists of three modules (10 ECTS each), involving a total of 21 days of fieldwork on land and on fjords:
Knowledge
The students gain an understanding of the significance of a geological long-term perspective on the short term interpretation of environmental and climate change across gradients from mountain to fjord, and their natural and human induced sources.
Skills
The students are able to use lake and fjord deposits as a valuable geological tool for interpreting a variety of environmental and climate change settings in space and time. The students know how to add a continuous historical long-term (decades to centuries) dimension to the common approach of ecological short-term (months to years) interpretation of environmental and climate change.
General competence
The programme provides the students with the competence to critically instruct decision makers on how to improve the reliability of an ecologically based interpretation of environmental and climate change by adding geological long-term information in a holistic approach.
Admission Requirements
Students who apply for the ¿From Mountain to Fjord¿ should document at least 90 ECTS credits, corresponding to 1.5 years of academic study at the time of their application. Acknowledged studies are within one of the fields of biology, or earth sciences, or ecology, or environmental sciences. The number of students is limited to 38; student admission will be ranged according to relevance of the field of study and number of credits gained in this field at the time of application. Note that the From Mountain to Fjord course is mainly suited for post-Bachelor students. Master students should contact the course coordinator prior to application.
Work requirements
Approved presentations, and field and laboratory journals. Please refer to the single courses for the volume of these requirements.
Final assessment
Module 1: GE476 Geological Aspects of Western Norway: Written examination under supervision (Multiple choice test), 4 hours, 10 ECTS
Module 2: GE477 Glaciers and Ecology: Written examination under supervision, 4 hours, 10 ECTS
Module 3: GE478 Fjord Processes: Written examination under supervision (Multiple choice test), 2 hours (counting 50%), and oral examination in form of a presentation at a public seminar on the science project (counting 50%), 10 ECTS
We have lectures, exercises, fieldwork and laboratory practice. In addition, a science project will be performed throughout the whole semester.
The language of instruction is in English.
Explore the geology and ecology of western Norway! From Mountain to Fjord is an environmental course focusing on interdisciplinary natural science with a main emphasis on the geology and ecology of Western Norway.
Teaching semester: Autumn
The location of the campus gives access to a variety of eco-systems, ranging from alpine through lowland to a marine fjord environment. This landscape offers a unique natural laboratory for fieldwork and research.
The course provides you with the competence to critically instruct decision makers on how to improve the reliability of an ecologically based interpretation of environmental and climate change by simply adding geological long term information.
The course consists of three main modules:
