The Faculty of Medicine is primarily a medical school, but also offers courses in other health-related subjects. The Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences is the university largest faculty, offering courses in subjects such as mathematics, chemistry, pharmacology, geology, physics, etc. The Faculty of Dentistry offers dentistry, dental orthopaedics and other courses relating to oral health. The Faculty of Social Sciences offers social studies at all levels, from political science to psychology, interspersed with sociology, statistics and other fields.

Many academic investigations require a new and different approach.
To meet these challenges, the University of Oslo has created numerous centres of interdisciplinary research, which are independent of the faculties. The oldest is the Centre for Feminist Research, established in 1986. Most of the centres operate through a limited charter.
