中文概述

卑尔根大学是挪威人引以自豪的高等学府之一,创建于1946年,为欧洲著名大学联盟科英布拉集团成员之一。卑尔根大学是在1825年建立的卑尔根博物馆的基础上发展起来的,现在是挪威规模第二的综合性大学,位于挪威西南海岸的第二大城市卑尔根。

卑尔根大学共有七个学院,它们是人文科学学院、数学与自然科学学院、医学院、牙科学院、社会科学学院、法学院和心理学学院。

卑尔根是挪威的第二大城,也是西海岸最大最美的港都,坐落在挪威西海岸陡峭的峡湾线上,倚着港湾和七座山头,市区频临碧湾,直通大西洋,是座风光明媚的港湾之城。由于受墨西哥暖流影响而生的暖风,使卑尔根成为多雨的地区。卑尔根的魅力蕴藏在剧院、舞蹈、音乐、艺术、食品和展览会中。卑尔根的主要建筑物游览区在港口附近,北部则留存着许多中世纪汉萨同盟时代的古老建筑(圣玛莉教堂就是卑尔根最古老的建筑物,还有著名的哈孔皇家礼堂和罗森克兰塔),南部则是现代化的购物街。
