• Course list for exchange students 

All courses at our faculty are restricted. However, there are three main types of restricted courses at the faculty. Please note that a course can be both category 2 and 3. 

1. "Open" restricted courses: Courses that don't have any formal requirements and don't have limited capacity due to lab or field trips. You can register for these courses yourself on Studentweb. Please note that although these courses don't have lab or field trips they can occationally fill up.
    
2. Courses with limited capacity: Sign up for these courses before the deadline (wednesday week 33/week 2) and you will receive an email early the week after telling you whether or not you have been admitted to the course. If you are admitted to the course you can go on to Studentweb and register for the exam.
   
   For courses in our limited capacity admission, you’ll see “admission in progress” during registration in StudentWeb.
   This means you have registered for the course correctly.
   
   If you have been pre-approved for courses in your application to UiB - Søknadsweb, you are guaranteed admission to the course(s) you have been approved for in the limited capacity admission, as long as you register for the course(s) in StudentWeb within the deadline for the limited capacity admission.
    
3. Courses with formal requirements: Advanced courses that require prevous knowledge of the subject area. If you want to register for one of these courses you will need to provide documentation that you fulfill the requirements. You should contact the department that owns the course if you want to do one of these courses and it has not been pre-approved. 

• If a course has formal requirements, you’ll see the message “You are not registered as having fulfilled the formal requirements for this course” in StudentWeb during registration.
   
• We’ll manually register the formal requirements for international students who have been granted admission to courses.
  You do not need to contact us about granted courses. We have all the information we need. 
   
• The manual registration process with us are in the period: 
  - December/ early January
  - June/July/ early August
   
• When your formal requirements have been manually registered by us, you must sign up/register for the course in StudentWeb. 

The semesteregistration deadline at UiB in StudentWeb is:

• September 1st
• February 1st

However, at the Faculty of Science and Technology, many of our courses are in the Limited capacity admission. 

The deadline for these courses are:

• wednesday, week 2
• wednesday, week 33

When registering for these courses in StudentWeb, it will state "admission in progress", when registration is completed, with a red cross. 

The admission will be ready the following monday, and you will be able to see in StudentWeb if you have been granted admission to the course. StudentWeb will then show that you have been registered for the exam, with a green checkmark.

If you did not receive admission, both the lecture and exam will be marked with a red cross, stating no admission.

Library course

A digital library course will be held at the start of the semester. The date will be announced in good time before the course. We strongly recommend this course to our new students. 

In this workshop we will help you to develop literature skills necessary for writing a scholarly assignment. We will cover what scientific literature is and how you can find it using the library services at UiB. We will also cover how to conduct a smart search and how to cite your sources according to academic standards required at UiB. 

Registration for the course will be sent on e-mail to new, international students.
