Your exchange abroad must be academically relevant to count towards part of your degree at the University of Stavanger. You must therefore apply for pre-approval of courses/practical training before you travel.

What are you applying for?
The offer of an exchange must be academically relevant for the programme, be rooted in the academic environment and must normally contain pre-approved course packages or course choices at relevant partner universities.
If no pre-approved course packages are offered, you must submit a plan describing the courses you wish to take abroad. As you look for courses offered at the institution abroad, look for ones that are equivalent to the courses included in the curriculum at UiS during the current semester (30 credits per semester).
Nursing and social studies students travelling for practical training/internships will get assistance from their academic coordinator to find relevant practical training/internship that satisfies the requirements of these study programmes.
Pre-approval is your guarantee that you will have your overseas stay approved as part of your education plan at UiS.
Contact the study advisor at your faculty/department via the exchange guide in the Digital service desk.
