Name	Classification of Institutions
Definition	Type of institution Institutions are classified primarily according to their level of education offered, but also according to more specific information about the type of courses offered and the educational act under which the institution operates. The 1994 Standard Industrial Classification (NOS C182) forms the basis for classification, with key groupings being: primary and lower secondary school, upper secondary school, university, university college and adult education. University colleges are further divided into state, military and other (mostly private) colleges. Type of institution is classified internally by Statistics Norway and is a central variable used in many publications.
