In 2001 the Noroff Institute had more than 1,000 full-time students and had grown to become one of Norway’s largest schools in creative production and IT subjects. At this time the company heavily pursued internet-based education in the Web student department. In 2005 the Noroff Institute started four high schools based on media and communication under the trade name ”Mediegymnaset” (Noroff High School) in Stavanger, Kristiansand, Oslo and Fredrikstad. In 2007 Noroff Institute had grown to become one of the largest schools in Europe in the animation subject 3D Design, in addition, it had become Norway’s largest school with regard to the number of students in Film Production.

The school is in cooperation with universities abroad in England, Wales, Australia and South Africa which makes it possible for the students to complete a bachelor's degree by taking the third year out of the country.
