Welcome programme
Stay tuned for UiB's autumn semester Welcome Programme 2025!
The programme will introduce you to different aspects of being a student in Bergen. It is an excellent opportunity to meet other international students, as well as asking any questions you might have to UiB staff members. Attendance is not mandatory, but we highly encourage all new international students to participate.
Introductiory meeting at the Student Centre
We will hold an introductory meeting for new international students in the auditorium "Egget" at the Student Centre.
Address: Parkveien 1.
We have divided you into three groups depending on which faculty you will be studying at.
In addition to receiving practical information, you will meet a Norwegian student, learn more about the student welfare organisation Sammen and how to hike safely in the Norwegian nature. The programme will last approximately 3,5 hours.
