History

• A decision was taken in 1811 to found the first university inside the Danish-Norwegian union, after King Frederick VI had been persuaded, and the new institution was named the Royal Frederick University (Det Kongelige Frederiks Universitet, Latin Universitas Regia Fredericiana)1811 年，在国王腓特烈六世被说服后，丹麦—挪威决定建立联盟内的第一所大学，新机构定名为皇家腓特烈大学（Det Kongelige Frederiks Universitet，拉丁文 Universitas Regia Fredericiana）。
• The university opened in Christiania, now Oslo, in 1813 with only seven professors and eighteen students, at a time when Christiania was still a provincial town in a country without a capital大学于 1813 年在当时的克里斯蒂安尼亚（今奥斯陆）开学，首批只有 7 名教授和 18 名学生，而当时的克里斯蒂安尼亚还是一个没有首都的国家里的小城。
• One year later, in 1814, Norway proclaimed its independence and adopted its own constitution, and the university became a key instrument of Norwegian political and cultural independence during the union with Sweden一年后的 1814 年，挪威宣布独立并通过自己的宪法；在与瑞典共处的年代里，这所大学成为挪威政治与文化独立的关键机构。
• The original mission was to educate a new class of senior civil servants, members of parliament and government ministers, and to serve as the centre for a national survey of culture, language, history and folk traditions大学最初的任务是培养新一代高级公务员、议员和政府部长，并成为全国文化、语言、历史与民俗调查的中心。
• The Astronomical Observatory was built in Christiania in 1833 to designs by Christopher Hansteen for cartographic and astronomical purposes, and became a landmark of national scientific progress1833 年，克里斯蒂安尼亚天文台按克里斯托弗·汉斯廷的设计建成，用于制图与天文观测，成为国家科学进步的象征。
• In 1852, two years after the royal castle was completed, the university moved into its stately new buildings on Karl Johans gate, where castle, university and later parliament formed an architectural axis of power1852 年，在王宫落成两年后，大学迁入卡尔·约翰街上气派的新楼，王宫、大学以及后来落成的议会由此构成一条权力轴线。
• The 1870s brought a turning point, with more emphasis on research, more professional administration, reformed subjects and new forms of teaching, while classical education came under growing pressure19 世纪 70 年代是转折期：学校更强调研究，管理更加专业化，学科与教学形式全面改革，古典式教育则承受越来越大的压力。
• Ida Cecilie Thoresen became the first female student at the university in 1882, and Kristine Bonnevie became its first female professor in 1912, one year before Norwegian women were given the vote1882 年，伊达·塞西莉·索雷森成为该校首位女学生；1912 年，克里斯蒂内·博讷维成为首位女教授，比挪威妇女获得选举权早一年。
• When the union with Sweden was dissolved in 1905, the university became important for producing the educated experts that a society with growing expectations of dignity and security required1905 年与瑞典的联盟解散后，这所大学因培养现代社会所需的专业人才而更加重要，社会对公民体面与安全生活的期待也不断提高。
• The office of rector was created after the dissolution of the union, with the geologist W. C. Brøgger as the first rector, appointed in 1906 according to the university's own timeline, and he struggled to secure research funding until a national research council was established after the Second World War联盟解散后大学设立了校长一职，首任校长是地质学家布罗格尔（W. C. Brøgger），按校方官方年表于 1906 年就任；他为科研经费四处奔走，直到二战后国家研究委员会成立，其设想才得以实现。
• Research changed qualitatively around 1900, as new methods and theories turned teaching posts into research posts, enrolment doubled between 1911 and 1940 and students were recruited from broader social groups, and after the Second World War a national research council began funding research independently of teaching世纪之交前后，科研性质发生转变，新方法与新理论使教师岗位同时成为研究岗位，1911 至 1940 年在校生翻番，学生来源的社会面也更为广泛；二战后，国家研究委员会开始为研究单独拨款，不再依附教学经费。
• The University Library building in Henrik Ibsens gate, formerly Drammensveien, opened in 1913 and served as Norway's national library until 1989位于亨里克·易卜生街（原德拉门路）的大学图书馆新楼于 1913 年启用，并一直兼作挪威国家图书馆直到 1989 年。
• The Arctic explorer and zoology professor Fridtjof Nansen received the Nobel Peace Prize in 1922 for his work on refugees and victims of the First World War, and the prize ceremonies were later held in the university atrium北极探险家、动物学教授弗里乔夫·南森因救助一战难民与受害者，于 1922 年获诺贝尔和平奖；该奖的颁奖典礼后来一度在校内阿特里姆举行。
• The first buildings of the Blindern campus officially opened in 1936, and in the same year the university was renamed from the Royal Frederick University to the University of Oslo, the student welfare organisation SIO being founded in 1939布林登校区的首批建筑于 1936 年正式启用；同年，学校从皇家腓特烈大学改名为奥斯陆大学，学生福利组织 SIO 则成立于 1939 年。
• During the German occupation from 1940 to 1945, the rector Didrik Arup Seip was imprisoned and the university was run by an appointee of the Norwegian Nazi party, 650 male students were deported in 1943, and after the university auditorium was set on fire the Reich Commissar ordered the university closed and its students arrested1940 至 1945 年德国占领期间，校长迪德里克·阿鲁普·塞普遭到监押，大学由挪威纳粹党任命人员接管；1943 年 650 名男生被驱逐，大礼堂被纵火后，帝国专员下令关闭大学并逮捕学生。
• The university remained the only institution of higher learning in the country until 1946, when the University of Bergen was founded and ended that monopoly直到 1946 年卑尔根大学成立，这所大学才不再是挪威唯一的高等教育机构，结束了长期的单校格局。
• The State Educational Loan Fund was established in 1947 and public loans were made available to students, producing a record rise in student numbers, with 5,951 students registered in the autumn of 1945 and more than 6,000 by 1947, about 50 per cent more than before the war1947 年国家助学贷款基金成立，政府向学生提供贷款，学生人数随即创纪录增长：1945 年秋季学期注册 5,951 人，1947 年超过 6,000 人，比战前增加约五成。
• The 1960s were the decade of unprecedented growth, as enrolment tripled from 5,600 in 1960 to 16,800 in 1970, the number of academic positions doubled from fewer than 500 to about 1,200, and the expanded Blindern complex was able to accommodate 7,000 students20 世纪 60 年代是空前增长的十年：学生人数从 1960 年的 5,600 人增至 1970 年的 16,800 人，扩充后的布林登校区可容纳 7,000 名学生。
• Two Nobel prizes went to Norwegian researchers of this university after the First World War, the Economic Sciences prize to Ragnar Frisch and the Chemistry prize to Odd Hassel, both in 1969, the first prize in economics ever awarded一战后该校有两位挪威研究者先后获得诺贝尔奖：1969 年朗纳·弗里施获首届诺贝尔经济学奖，奥德·哈塞尔同年获诺贝尔化学奖。
• By 1968 revolutionary ideas had taken firm root among the students, and the student uprising became a turning point for universities across the western world, after which the university became a centre of the organised women's liberation movement of the 1970s到 1968 年，革命性政治思想已在学生中扎根，这场学生运动成为整个西方大学史的转折点；此后奥斯陆大学又成为 20 世纪 70 年代有组织妇女解放运动的中心。
• The most fundamental change in the student population was the rising share of women, who outnumbered men in 1982, while enrolment kept rising exponentially until UiO introduced the first admission restrictions in 1992 and counted 38,265 students in 1996学生构成最根本的变化是女性比例上升，1982 年女学生人数首次超过男生；与此同时注册人数持续攀升，校方 1992 年首次对各学院实行招生限制，1996 年在校生达 38,265 人。
• Recent restructuring is visible in the Georg Sverdrup library building, which opened at Blindern in 1999 in steel, glass and stone and replaced the 1913 building, in the 2003 Quality Reform that reshaped programmes, grade scales and examinations, in the bicentenary celebrations of 2011 and in the current Strategy 2030 and the Circle U. alliance近年来的变化体现在 1999 年在布林登启用的 Georg Sverdrup 新图书馆大楼，它以钢、玻璃与石材取代了 1913 年的旧馆；2003 年的质量改革全面改造了课程结构、等级制度与考试，2011 年学校举行建校 200 周年庆典，目前则以「2030 战略」和欧洲大学联盟 Circle U. 推进结构性重组。
