The course has programmes for internationalisation and international student exchanges, pursuant to the Regulations on the Supervision and Control of the Quality of Norwegian Higher Education (Studietilsynsforskriften) of February 2017 (Section 2-2(7) and (8)).

The internationalisation programmes will be adapted to the level, scope and nature of the programme.

The content of international student exchange programmes is academically relevant.

Internationalisation programmes

In this context, internationalisation means that the course is placed in an international context and that students are exposed to a diverse range of perspectives.

Internationalisation programmes can involve a number of activities such as the use of international literature, international visiting lecturers, overseas students on student exchanges or student participation in international conferences or workshops abroad (this list is not exhaustive).

For specific internationalisation programmes, please refer to the programme’s course descriptions.

Kristiania University College has an agreement with the University of Nicosia Medical School where the students can expand on their studies in the Bachelor in Biomedicine with a four-year professional study programme in medicine. Admission to further programmes at the University of Nicosia Medical School requires good grades and prior knowledge according to the current requirements. More information regarding this can be found on our website.

International student exchange programmes

International exchange programmes are agreed between institutions and may relate to networks and international mobility programmes. Examples include:

Nordplus in the Nordic and Baltic countries
ERASMUS+ in Europe
“Exchange” or “Study Abroad” programme, for students within and outside Europe.

Students on the Bachelor in Biomedicine programme have the opportunity to participate in a student exchange during the fourth semester.

Kristiania has entered into agreements relating to student exchanges for students and the academic relevance of such exchanges will be ensured by the programme coordinator. Exchange courses offered by partner institutions are approved by programme coordinators for academic recognition in relevant Bachelor’s degrees and have a value of 30 credits.

Here are examples of relevant educational institutions abroad for the Bachelor in Biomedicine programme

The University of Wolverhampton, UK
Griffith University, Brisbane, Australia

The list of partner institutions is subject to change and up-to-date information is published on the university college website. The institutions are only able to offer a limited number of places.

Consequently, nomination for a student exchange generally requires certain grades and a personal motivation statement. Evidence of, for example, supervised professional training or creative/portfolio work may also be required and Kristiania University College may conduct interviews with exchange applicants. Kristiania University College aims to send well-qualified and motivated students to recognised educational institutions abroad.

For both campus-based and online programmes, the exchange will be campus-based.

Exchange programmes are open to students who are studying on a degree-awarding course and have completed a minimum of 60 credits at Kristiania.
