University of Bergen

We arrange a Welcome Programme each semester for all new international students. Throughout the Programme we will introduce you to different aspects of being a student in Bergen and Norway through practical information and entertaining lectures. This is also an excellent opportunity to meet other new students, as well as UiB staff members. You can also visit our International Centre or your own faculty information centre if you have any queries what so ever.

As a student at the University of Bergen automatically become a member of the Student Welfare Organisation (Sammen). You become a member when you pay the small semester fee (currently NOK 590), which is also required in order to register each semester.

All UiB international students have the benefit of guaranteed housing with the Student Welfare Organisation in Bergen (Sammen).
