Important information about exchange and Study Abroad in the Fall semester 2022
It is possible to apply for exchange in the Fall semester 2022. We hope many get to experience a semester or a full year abroad.
The Corona pandemic still makes it more difficult to travel, but most of our partner universities are accepting exchange students. Some countries have strict entry rules, making student exchange difficult. This includes New Zealand, Hong Kong and China, but also other countries may change their entry rules at short notice.
Insurance
Please note that you are personally responsible for buying the necessary insurances for the duration of your stay abroad. UiA will not cover any financial loss that you may experience, and that is not covered by your insurance. You must relate to and respect advice from Norwegian as well as local authorities while abroad. We recommend that you contact ANSA for information about insurance, as well as support for Norwegian students abroad.
To apply for exchange and Study Abroad: Please log on to Søknadsweb, and apply by February 15.
You may list up to 3 institutions in prioritised order in your application for exchange / Study Abroad. Should your planned study experience be impaired by the pandemic, we will attempt to find alternative solutions, even after the application deadline.
As the situation world wide is still uncertain and unpredictable, it is essential that everyone applying for exchange / Study Abroad also has a Plan B for the Fall semester.
