Atlantis Medisinske Høgskole

What Atlantis Medisinske Høgskole does

Norges Høyskole for Helsefag AS (NHFH), previously branded as Atlantis Medisinske Høgskole, is a privately-held Norwegian higher education institution founded in 1987 that specializes in health sciences. It operates three delivery channels: the main Campus Oslo at Pilestredet 56; Campus Spania in Fuengirola (Málaga), offering Norwegian-language instruction in southern Spain; and NHFH Nett, a fully online study program. The academic portfolio spans one-year foundational programs in basic medicine, psychology, and nutrition; bachelor's degrees in medicine and nutrition; half-year programs in diet/nutrition and anatomy/physiology; supplementary courses for non-EU/EEA-trained health personnel; and short continuing-education courses covering healthy lifestyle, geriatrics and geriatric nursing, and medical terminology.

NHFH is NOKUT-accredited, meaning its programs are publicly approved and eligible for Norwegian state student loans and grants through Lånekassen. Revenue is generated primarily through tuition fees across these programs, and the institution's primary customer segment is prospective healthcare students — particularly those who lack the top high-school grades needed for direct entry into Norwegian medical schools. A distinctive value proposition is the institution's partnerships with Masaryk University (Brno), Charles University (Czech Republic), and the University of Zagreb (Croatia), which enable NHFH graduates to progress directly into medical or dental studies abroad; grade C or better in NHFH's one-year basic medicine program guarantees direct entry to Masaryk's medical or dental programs without entrance exams.

The institution markets directly to consumers via its website, scheduled digital information meetings, blog content, Facebook, and Instagram, supplemented by free study counseling services. Pricing is not publicly disclosed, and student welfare services are accessed via a partnership with Studentsamskipnaden i Oslo og Akershus (SiO). The legal entity is registered in Norway as an AS (Org. nr. 963 786 123) with no disclosed parent company, no public funding rounds, and no publicly traded securities.

Scale indicators3 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Regional players

• VID Vitenskapelige Høgskole: Norwegian private university college with health and social sciences programs including nursing and psychology. Comparable as a Norwegian private health-education provider, though with a more faith-based and broader health professional orientation.
• Steinerhøyskolen (Norwegian Steiner University College): Small Norwegian private higher education institution. Comparable in scale and private-college positioning within Norway's higher education market, though oriented toward different academic verticals.

Broad incumbents

• Høyskolen Kristiania: Largest private university college in Norway offering health, psychology, and related undergraduate programs. Comparable as a private non-profit higher education provider in Norway but operates at much greater scale and broader program scope than NHFH.
• Oslo Metropolitan University (OsloMet): Major Norwegian public university with health science and nursing programs. Competes with NHFH for healthcare-track students but offers tuition-free public education at significantly larger scale.
• Norges teknisk-naturvitenskapelige universitet (NTNU): Major Norwegian public university with medicine, psychology, and health science programs. Competes for the same Norwegian healthcare-student pool as NHFH but at no tuition cost to students.
• Universitetet i Oslo (UiO): Norway's premier public university with a medical faculty. Represents the primary destination NHFH pathway students are trying to access; competes for top-tier applicants but does not offer the alternative pathway positioning.

Others

• University of Zagreb School of Medicine: Croatian medical school that accepts NHFH pathway students. Strategic destination partner rather than a competitor, but its admission capacity directly affects NHFH's funnel economics.
• Charles University Faculty of Medicine: Another key pathway destination for NHFH students seeking English-language medical education in Central Europe. Partnership exposure is core to NHFH's positioning.
• Masaryk University Faculty of Medicine: Czech public medical school that serves as a key pathway destination for NHFH graduates. Not a competitor but a strategic partner; understanding their admissions and capacity dynamics is critical to NHFH's value proposition.

Direct peers

• Bjørknes Høyskole: Another small private Norwegian higher education institution offering health and pre-medical programs with pathways to international medical schools. Highly comparable in mission, target student (Norwegian students without top grades seeking medical studies abroad), and pathway business model.
