The University of Oslo (in Norwegian Universitetet i Oslo, in Latin Universitas Osloensis) was founded in 1811 as Universitas Regia Fredericiana (the Royal Frederick University, in Norwegian Det Kongelige Frederiks Universitet). It was modelled after the recently established University of Berlin, and originally named after King Frederick of Denmark and Norway. It received its current name in 1939. The university currently has about 30,000 students and employs about 4,600 people. It is the largest, most prestigious and oldest university in Norway, situated in the country's capital city, as well as one of the leading universities of Scandinavia. Its faculty of humanities was ranked as the best in Scandinavia, the 5th best in Europe and the 16th best in the world by the Times Higher Education Supplement.

The university has faculties of (Lutheran) Theology, Law, Medicine, Humanities, Mathematics and Natural Sciences, Dentistry, Social Sciences, and Education. The Faculty of Law is still located at the old campus on Karl Johans gate (Oslo's central pedestrian street), near the National Theatre, the Royal Palace, and the Parliament, while most of the other faculties are located at a modern campus area called Blindern, erected from the 1930s. Professor Geir Ellingsrud was in 2005 elected rector for the period 2006-2009.

Until the founding of the University in 1811, the University of Copenhagen was the only university of Denmark-Norway. After the dissolution of the Dano-Norwegian union in 1814, close academic ties between the countries have been maintained.
