UiS has many exchange agreements outside the EU. These agreements are open to most bachelor and master degree students at UiS and could be suitable for students from different study programs.
You can usually apply for exchange at one of the institutions listed on this page if you can find courses that are relevant to your study plan. All courses must be pre-approved by your faculty or department before you go on exchange. Please contact your student advisor if you have questions about potential courses, your study plan, or pre-approval.
Some of these institutions have restrictions, and are only available to students from certain faculties, field of study, or bachelor/master levels. It's important to read the institutional descriptions carefully before applying. Please contact the International Office through the Exchange Guide in the Digital Student Service Desk if you're not sure if you can apply to one of these institutions.
Tuition fees
All students going on exchange must pay the semester fee at UiS and may be asked to pay an administration fee at the host institution.
Students going on exchange through Erasmus+ do not pay tuition fees to the host institution. Please note that institutions outside Europe usually require tuition fees, especially in USA and Australia. If you are eligible for financial support from the Norwegian State Educational Loan Fund (Lånekassen), you may apply for additional support for tuition fees.
International students paying tuition fees at UiS must still pay this fee during the exchange period and are not exempt from any tuition fees at the host institution.
