U-Multirank's unique 'Sunburst chart' gives an illustration of a university's performance profile across the five U-Multirank dimensions. These are indicated in different colours. For instance, the teaching and learning dimension is symbolised by the colour green. Each 'sunray' represents one of the thirty plus U-Multirank indicators. The longer the ray, the better the performance of an institution on the selected indicator: a full-length ray stands for 'top group' performance, whereas a short ray means 'weak' performance. A missing sunray indicates that the specific data indicator is not available. An institution's performance in an indicator can be identified by moving the cursor over the rays. A key guard for the sunburst chart is provided here .

The Bachelor’s Programme in Political Economy gives the student a fundamental theoretic and empirical knowledge about economics and political science. They learn to combine this knowledge in the study of specific institutions and economic politics. The programme is an integrated offer to students who are interested in these two subjects/professions on the borderline between economics and politics. They also get thorough training in research methodology so that they at the end do an independent analysis of a topic within political economy in the shape of a bachelor’s thesis.

Physical Geography, Environment- and Landscape Geography and Human Geography. The students will, with the aid of supervision do an independent theoretical/practical research project, normally based on data collected from fieldwork, which after two years will become a master thesis. The master thesis can be based on specific geographical methods such as cartography, GIS (geographical information systems) and remote sensing. The master thesis leads to thematic and specialized knowledge which is relevant for teaching, consultancy and research and for work in public administration and business.

To study history is to study important aspects of social development, in and outside Norway, in ancient and modern times. By understanding developments in the past, we understand more of the present world, and thus we are better equipped to make good choices for the future. In addition, the study of history provides insight into how historians work on acquiring and creating knowledge about the past, and how different methodological approaches influence interpretation and knowledge of the past.

The way the discipline is structured, it is possible to study both political systems and processes in Norway and in other countries. The approach is an analytical perspective of development processes and conflict structures, such as mass mobilisation, party growth and organisation development. Emphasis is placed on differences within each country; geographic, economic and cultural contrasts. There is also a strong emphasis in the direction of political sociology; with a distinctive underscoring of the links between distribution of economic resources, social structures and political processes

The comparative dimension is strongly emphasised providing a much more far-reaching, systematic knowledge of differences and similarities between political systems than is the case for the other main political science departments at other universities in the Nordic area. The department is continuing to elaborate on the ideas and visions for the development of the discipline set forth by the founder Stein Rokkan. Members of staff have studied political conditions in Latin America, Asia, South Africa and China and is working to enhance research competences on a wider set of regions as well.

Comparative politics is concerned with the systematic study of political institutions, organizations, processes, and behaviour at the local, national and international levels. The systematic comparison across political systems and the study of democracy and democratization, spanning broadly, both geographically and thematically, are central to the discipline. Comparative method and multivariate statistical data analysis are the primary research method approaches. The master’s thesis is an independent research project completed under the individual-level supervision of a faculty mentor.

Through the master’s programme in sociology the students develop a general understanding of social processes and societal conditions – from close relations between individuals in small groups, social organization and institutional change at national level, to broad global processes of change. Students gain skills in qualitative and quantitative methods and project development, particularly concentrated around work with the master’s dissertation that is central to develop a capacity for independence, analytical skills, and an aptitude for scholarly presentation.
