The International Office will inform the students about the programme for the start of the semester. The programme contains a mix of social and academic activities.
All students begin their semester together on Welcome Day, where they gain relevant information about Evenstad, the area and campus, as well as the “right to roam.” Afterwards, students head to their study programme for academic content and more.
Fadderuka
Fadderuka lasts from Wednesday to Sunday of the first week on campus. All new (international and Norwegian) students will be divided into groups for the events. Students will be mixed randomly, independent of their study programme, study level, language, and nationality.
