It is important to know that you do not have to buy the course literature for the entire course of study right away. The reading list for a course can change, as we constantly update the literature to include the latest and most relevant information.
To ensure that you have the right course literature, you must check the reading list for the relevant courses you will be taking each semester. This will help you avoid unnecessary expenses and ensure that you always have the most up-to-date literature. See the page for your study programme or go directly to the course website from uib.no/en/courses.
Frequently asked questions
Do I have to buy all the course literature myself?
As a student at UiB, you will have access to some of the literature for free, in addition to the lecturer being able to share chapters and paragraphs from chapters digitally. That’s why we recommend that you wait to buy the literature until you start your studies and get an overview of what material will be provided for free, and what the lecturer recommends you buy.
In addition, you can also buy the literature from fellow students. In that case, remember to check that it is the correct version.
How do I access the articles in the reading lists?
If you are a student at UiB, you will have access to most of the articles in the reading lists. Remember to check that you have logged in.
Is the course literature available in audio, e-book or Braille?
If you have difficulty reading visual text, Tibi is the library for you. Tibi lends adapted literature and produces literature in an alternative format for blind and visually impaired students.
