Lumi Gruppen

Lumi Gruppen

Send subscription Close

Lumi is a leading private education provider in Norway, with an omnichannel offering that has ~8,550 students across 10 campuses and online. The Oslo Nye Høyskole brand is a mid-sized university college (~50% of Lumi's students), offering bachelor’s degrees, master's degrees, and other higher education programmes in various subjects. Its Sonans brand is the largest provider of private candidate exam preparation (~50% of Lumi's students), helping students who wish to improve or complete their high school diploma.

Sustainability information

Lumi Gruppen’s performance is closely tied to labour market trends, with strong job availability potentially reducing demand for education, while a weaker market could drive higher enrolment. The industry’s attractive characteristics may attract new entrants, posing a competitive risk, though Lumi’s established position and experience provide a strong competitive advantage that would take time for rivals to match.
