34 programmes with verified city evidence
Each published programme requires an exact NO_STUDYINNORWAY source key, the same canonical university, and a source city matching this verified municipality study location. The current institution foundation covers NOKUT's university category rather than Norway's complete approved HEI universe.
The current provider foundation covers the 11 NOKUT university-category institutions, not Norway's complete approved HEI universe. Institution identity remains an authority-backed name identity rather than a durable national identifier.
