Norwegian mass killer Anders Breivik has enrolled at the University of Oslo to study political science.

Breivik, who is serving a 21-year sentence for murdering 77 people in attacks in Norway in 2011, has not been admitted to a degree-granting programme, but will study modules.

According to the BBC, the 34-year-old will study at his high security prison and will not have direct contact with university staff.

Oslo University's president, Ole Petter Ottersen, said all citizens had a right to pursue higher education.

He added that under no circumstances the killer would be admitted to campus.

The University found that Breivik's existing qualifications did not meet the entry requirements for a degree in political science, but has allowed him to enroll for individual modules, the report added.
