Utveksling: Social Work - Bachelor's Degree Programme (B-SOSION)

All about exchange

Exchange semester
4th semester (supervised professional training).

As a student on the bachelor's program in social work, you have the opportunity to go on exchange in the 4th semester of your studies. This means that the exchange constitutes the professional training of your education. Exchange is a unique opportunity to gain international experience and to make your education stand out.

For more information on exchange, see UiS's exchange pages.

Exchange programme - supervised professional training
Through one of our partner institutions abroad, you will be offered an approved internship with a supervisor.

We offer two different types of internships abroad. Those who go to universities abroad must follow this university's own supervised training course and the requirements set by this university. Those who go to exchange under the auspices of organizations and foundations must be prepared to follow the internship program of the University of Stavanger. This includes participation in a pre-practice seminar (if possible) and submission of mandatory work requirements. You will be told which course you will follow well in advance of your departure.

All students who complete an internship abroad are assigned a contact teacher at UiS. Students abroad undertake to maintain ongoing contact with the person responsible for exchange and assigned contact teacher throughout the internship period.

The application process
The deadline for applying for an exchange is 1 September in the autumn before the supervised professional training.

Which institutions we get internships at may vary from year to year, and we therefore recommend that you choose based on which country you want to go to.

All applicants following the social work education must attach a letter of motivation in English to the application. Here you should write a little about yourself and your motivation for applying for an exchange. This letter will be forwarded to your place of exchange as a presentation of you. It can also be used in the distribution of internship places, if you and another student are competing for the same place and have the same score. Particularly relevant language competence can count in your favour.

Students going on exchange must have passed all 1st year exams on the program before they can travel abroad.
