[[File:Hogskolen i Agder Gimlemoen.JPG|thumb|left|[[University of Agder]]]] The [[University of Agder]] was established in 2007, based on Agder College, which had been founded in 1994 by the amalgamation of six previous institutions: Kristiansand Teacher Training College, Agder District College, Kristiansand College of Nursing, Arendal College of Nursing, Agder Engineering and District College ([[Grimstad]]) and Agder Conservatory of Music. The university has about 10,000 students, of whom 7,500 are in Kristiansand and the remaining 2,500 in Grimstad. In Kristiansand it is housed on a campus on the former parade ground of Gimlemoen in the Lund section. The university offers a wide range of studies at all levels, organised into five faculties: Humanities and Education, Engineering and Science, Health and Sport, Economics and Social Sciences, and Fine Arts. Gimlemoen is also the site of Sørlandet kunnskapspark, a research park built with funds from sources including the Cultiva foundation that houses a number of companies with a degree of professional affiliation with the university, such as Agderforskning, a social science research institute that is part of the publishing company [[Cappelen Damm]].<ref>[http://www.uia.no/en University of Agder, official website] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210507125805/https://www.uia.no/en |date=7 May 2021 }}{{in lang|en}}</ref>

Noroff has considerable experience in offering online courses and all of the degree courses offered at the University College are available online.

Kristiansand was a [[garrison]] and cathedral town from 1664; [[Kristiansand Cathedral School]] was founded in 1684 and a [[Latin school]] in 1734.

Private senior secondary schools include Sonans utdanning (education). The private school Sørlandets Maritime Senior Secondary School is also based in Kristiansand. This school offers two courses of study, Technology and Industrial Production and maritime subjects. It is a boarding school; students live and undergo training aboard the training ship MS Sjøkurs, a steamer that previously operated on the [[Hurtigruten]].

Kristiansand is also host to an International School on Kongsgård Alle in Lund. The School opened in January 2008 to provide an international education through English to students from grade 1 to grade 10. This IB authorised school moved into a brand new purpose-built building in Summer 2014, to house the expanding school which now has over 100 students.
