How to choose courses

The singlular courses are intended for nominated exchange students, placement/traineeship students and students who are going to do project work/internships or write their master's thesis at UiT. You may choose courses across faculties, but please note:

• you must fulfill the prerequisites for each course

• you can select courses in one city

• you can choose courses at different faculties/instituties, but make sure that they are all taught in one city.

• You are not guaranteed entry to the courses you select. It is the faculty/institute that have the final say in whether you get admission to a course.

You must have a good command of English, B1 or B2 in accordance with the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR). NB! Certificate for English proficiency is not required.

The courses that you are going to add to your Learning Agreement must be pre-approved by your university. Please contact your home university if you are not sure about the courses you should take at UiT
