Relevant information:
Admission requirements
- To be eligible for exchange at UIB, nominated students must have completed at least 60 ECTS credits at bachelor's level (equivalent to one full year of studies) before the start of the exchange period.
- At the time of the application, students must provide documentation of a minimum of 30 credits. Official transcript/documentation must be uploaded by the application deadline: 25 April for the autumn semester or full academic year, and 15 October for the spring semester.
English language requirements
Students are required to have at least level B2 for all courses offered to exchange students, except for courses in English language and literature, which requires a higher level of English proficiency.
We consider your nomination as confirmation of your students' B2 level of English proficiency.
Courses for exchange students
UiB offers both open and restricted courses. Admission to restricted courses cannot be granted unless the student has prior knowledge and the required academic background. Furthermore, many restricted courses have a limited number of places. Therefore, qualified students nominated through an exchange agreement in a relevant subject area will be prioritized.
The course list provides a detailed overview of all the courses available to international exchange students.
We expect partners to nominate their students within the subject area specified in the exchange agreement. In addition students can choose open courses across faculties.
Subject areas with very limited capacity:
- Earth Sciences (GEOV)
- Biological Sciences (BIO)
Subject areas not open for exchange students unless specified in the exchange agreement:
- Medicine
- Dentistry
- Music - Performance and Composition
- Fine Art
- Design
Required application documents
Nominated students must upload all the required documentation by the deadline. Incomplete applications will not be processed.
- Transcript of records. The transcript must be issued in English or a Scandinavian language.
- Alternatively, the student can upload the original transcript together with a translation.
- Passport or national ID card (gender must be stated).
- Documentation of funding: Citizens from countries outside EU/EEA
Additional documents for some students:
Student housing
The private rental market in Bergen is not very accessible for international students, especially if they do not have a Norwegian ID number or a bank account in Norway. Therefore, new international students are offered a housing guarantee through The Student Welfare Organisation (Sammen)
The housing guarantee secures accommodation in a student dormitory, but does not give a guarantee of room type or location. Room allocation is done at random.
Shared rooms will be allocated to short term students regardless of their application.
- Family and couple apartments are not included in the housing guarantee.
- Pets are not allowed at Sammen’s buildings (guide dogs are exempted).
Exchange students are entitled to housing guarantee provided that they submit an application within the following dates:
- Autumn semester (start August): 1 April - 15 May
- Spring semester (start January): 1 October - 1 November
Requests for disability-related accommodations are considered on a case-by-case basis and availability. Supporting documentation (medical certificate), must be submitted to Sammen soon after submitting the application.
Erasmus+ learning agreement
Learning agreements are signed at the Faculty Information Centres after admission has been granted. Students will find the contact information and other details to fill in for their learning agreements at our website for students.
Paper versions (including PDF-documents) of the university-specific learning agreements will be signed at the Faculty Information Centres after the students have arrived in Bergen
Students with special needs
Students with special needs, disability or illness can apply for individual adaptation during their exchange period at UIB. Contact your faculty if you need special arrangements.
UiB also offers special adaptations for examinations. Please note that the students will have to apply well ahead of the exam dates.
Transcript of records
Your returning exchange students will send you a digital transcript or a link to the document.
