DHAKA: The man convicted of murdering 77 people in attacks in Norway in 2011 has enrolled at the University of Oslo to study political science.

Anders Behring Breivik, who is serving a 21-year sentence, has not been admitted to a degree-granting programme, but will study modules.

The 34-year-old will study at his high security prison and will not have direct contact with university staff.

The university stressed the importance of treating Breivik fairly.

The far-right extremist carried out his atrocities on 22 July 2011.

He set off a bomb in Oslo’s government district, before travelling to the island of Utoeya where he shot people attending the Norwegian Labour Party`s summer youth camp.

Many of his victims were teenagers.
