Main content

Please note that, while most courses are open for both international students and employees, some courses are reseved for spesific groups. All courses will be on campus. Changes may occur.

International students must make sure that they sign up for a group that does not conflict with the rest of their schedule. PhD candidates are considered employees, not students.

NOR-INTRO

The target audience for NOR-INTRO is exchange students. The course is ideal for those visiting UiB for only a semester or two. If you are staying for more than one semester and wish to continue learning Norwegian in your second semester, we recommend starting with NOR-U1, not NOR-INTRO.
