Sámi University of Applied Sciences has national responsibility in Norway for Sámi teacher training, journalist training and higher education, and has also an important role for higher education in Finland and Sweden. We promote Sámi perspective in research and teaching.
Sámi University of Applied Sciences has two faculties, both relevant for circumpolar and Arctic cooperation: Department of language, duodji, reindeer husbandry and social sciences, and Department of Sámi teacher training and Indigenous journalism.
