Minister of Research and Higher Education Ola Borten Moe opened the academic year at the University of Agder. The Minister traced the lines from the first universities of Europe in the Middle Ages to the modern universities of today, here represented by UiA.
The change applies to both students and staff and will be introduced on Wednesday 10 August.
UiA will receive about 22 million NOK from the EU over the next four years as a member of the European University Alliance FORTHEM. Solving society’s future challenges is a central part of the collaboration.
Semester start at UiA is fun, social and incredibly exciting. It is also a time where studies, learning and subjects are in focus. The academic year starts on 15 August.
This spring 23 young researchers have joined the UiA School of Business and Law’s PhD-programme.
