From Tokyo to Paris. Los Angeles to Queensland – UiS Business School has exchange agreements with several reputable partner universities worldwide.
The experience you gain from a semester abroad gives you an international profile that many companies look for in their future employees.
Through the UiS Business School exchange programme, you have a unique chance to gain an international perspective on your education. It is also an opportunity to learn a new language and culture. You expand your professional network and get an experience of a lifetime.
Go on exchange! It was by far the best choice I made during my time as a student. It can be frightening to leave your comfort zone by moving to another country, but the professional and personal development that one achieves is without a doubt worth it.
Benefits of student exchange
Five reasons to go abroad.
1. Gain new academic perspectives and impulses
2. Become attractive in the labour market
3. Get to know a different culture
4. Learn a new language
5. Challenge yourself
Student exchange
By going on exchange to one of our partner institutions abroad as part of your studies, you will have an opportunity to get a unique education. In addition to improving your career opportunities, you grow as a person and gain the ability to greater reflect on the topics you study as part of your degree.
