Frederiks) before the name change, and informally also referred to simply as Universitetet ("the university"). It has remained Norway's preeminent institution of higher education and the country's only university until 1946. The university has approximately 27,700 students and employs around 6,000 people.

The University of Oslo Library (Norwegian: Universitetsbiblioteket i Oslo, UBO) is a library connected to the University of Oslo. Like the university, it was established in 1811 with Georg Sverdrup as the first head librarian. It originally doubled as the Norwegian national library, and was located at the old University of Oslo campus. In 1913 the current library building in Henrik Ibsens gate was completed. Head librarian at the time, from 1876 to 1922, was Axel Drolsum. In 1989 the institution National Library of Norway was established. It finally took over the national library tasks from the University Library in 1998, allowing the latter to concentrate on university matters. The same year, the University Library left the building in Henrik Ibsens gate for the newly constructed Georg Sverdrup's House, located at the modern University of Oslo campus at Blindern.

Ullevål stadion is a rapid transit station of the Oslo Metro's Sognsvann Line. It is situated between the Sogn and Ullevål Hageby neighborhoods of the Oslo, Norway, borough of Nordre Aker.

The National Documentation Project of Norway (DokumentasjonsProsjekte ) was an effort to digitize information contained within the museums of Norwegian universities. Museums formed the nucleus for the founding of the traditional Norwegian university system. Norwegian university museums house collections containing information covering a wide range of Norwegian society. The purpose of the Documentation Project was to convert information from paper based archives to electronically readable media in order to make the archives more accessible. The project was started at the University of Oslo in 1991. The project was a national collaborative project centering on materials contained within the four traditional Norwegian Universities: University of Bergen, University of Oslo, University of Tromsø and the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (Trondheim).

The Centre for Development and the Environment (Norwegian: Senter for utvikling og miljø, SUM) is a research institute which is part of the University of Oslo. Its focus areas are international development and environmental studies.

Norwegian Geotechnical Institute (Norwegian: Norges geotekniske institutt, NGI) is an independent international centre for research and consultancy in engineering-related geosciences, integrating geotechnical, geological and geophysical expertise. NGI is a national centre for geotechnical research and development. The research and development is conductet within geotechnics and associated disciplines create results in the form of new expertise, new methods and new technology, with expertise within material properties, modelling and analysis, and instrumentation and monitoring. NGI's strength lies in the expertise of its personnel working in collaboration with clients and partners.NGI is also the host of the International Centre for Geohazards (ICG), one of Norway's first Centres of Excellence (CoE). NGI's partners are NORSAR, the Norwegian Geological Survey (NGU), the University of Oslo (UiO) and the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU).

The International Centre for Geohazards (ICG) is a Norwegian, multidisciplinary research and educational institute, hosted at the Norwegian Geotechnical Institute (NGI). According to the institute's website, ICG's research activities focus on the assessment, prevention and mitigation of geohazards, in which the latter is defined as a geological state that represents or has the potential to develop further in a situation leading to damage or uncontrolled risk. From this definition, it becomes clear that geohazards are widespread, both spatially and temporally, and are always related to geological conditions and processes in both offshore, coastal and onshore environments. The International Centre for Geohazards was established in 2002, and is a collaboration between the Norwegian Geotechnical Institute, NORSAR, the University of Oslo, and the Norwegian University of Science and Technology in Trondheim.
