Engineering education programmes still have a high proportion of male students. UiT is a partner in a European research project seeking answers to how more women can be recruited into the profession.

In August, young leaders from Asia and Europe gathered for a conference at UiT in Tromsø. Together, they have worked on future scenarios for the Arctic in order to become better equipped to navigate a world marked by rapid change and uncertainty.

An increasing number of international students have applied to UiT in recent years. According to the Pro-Rector for Education, UiT and Northern Norway are attractive because of their academic quality, natural surroundings, safety and quality of life.
