From Tokyo to Paris. Los Angeles to Queensland – UiS Business School has exchange agreements with several reputable partner universities worldwide.
The experience you gain from a semester abroad gives you an international profile that many companies look for in their future employees.
Through the UiS Business School exchange programme, you have a unique chance to gain an international perspective on your education. It is also an opportunity to learn a new language and culture. You expand your professional network and get an experience of a lifetime.
Go on exchange! It was by far the best choice I made during my time as a student. It can be frightening to leave your comfort zone by moving to another country, but the professional and personal development that one achieves is without a doubt worth it.
Benefits of student exchange
Five reasons to go abroad.

Exchange semester
Semester 3
In the third semester, you can study abroad at one of UiS' partner institutions. Our international partners offer other courses than UiS, which can give you a chance to build a unique combination of courses in your degree. By going on exchange, you will get a chance to broaden your network. The international experience that you gain, will also make you a more attractive job candidate for internationally oriented firms.
Exchange scheme
We recommend students who are going on exchange abroad to have completed the first 60 credits of the programme.
Choice of courses
The exchange semester has 30 ECTS elective courses, which means that you can choose freely which courses you would like to study abroad. A semester abroad is a good opportunity to take courses that UiS does not offer. A good tip is to think in terms of a specialisation and your field of interest.
The courses you choose, need to be at a corresponding level to where you are in your study program. It is also important that they do not overlap in content with the courses you have taken or will take later. In addition, you need to have a broad composition of courses in your study program.
It is important that you apply for pre-approval of the courses you will take abroad, by 15 February. The UiS Business School invites all students who have applied for an exchange to a workshop on selection and pre-approval of courses.
