1	See note 1, table 5.1.
2	Specialised university institutions offer a more narrow set of fields of education than the Norwegian universities, both having equal responsibilities and authorisations for education, research and organised research training. Specialised universities include the Norwegian School of Economics and Business Administration, the Norwegian School of Theology, the Norwegian School of Veterinary Science, the Oslo School of Architecture and Design, the Norwegian School of Sport Sciences, the Norwegian Academy of Music and from 2008 Norwegian School of Management and School of Mission and Theology.
3	From 1990, a person participating in more than one educational activity is counted once. The educational activity considered to be the main course of study, with higher-level, specialised university colleges and full-time courses taking priority among others. Previously, people were registered under several educational activities.
4	Persons enrolled in advanced research programmes are not included in the statistics from 2002. ''Business courses'' at The Norwegian School of Management (BI), which normally comprise small subjects organised to suit wage earners rather than full-time students, are included from 2002.
5	University of Stavanger, previously Stavanger University College and Norwegian University of Life Science, previously Norwegian College of Agriculture, are classified as universities from 1 January 2005.
6	University of Agder, previously Agder university college, is classified as a university from 1 September 2007.
7	Norwegian School of Management and School of Mission and Theology obtained status as specialised university institutions from 1 June 2008.
