Personal recommendation
I think the university itself is good, but the culture and the country itself brings a lot to the product and experience of the university. Beside the study program which had to be very near my expectations and ides (and it is!), everything is offered here, you just have to enjoy it, study, not worry how to aquire the basing studying resources... You can choose and organize your self beautifully, and in that the university makes an important role.

It is important to assess the university before you seriosly consider it, and that you can do through the communication process with the university. It has been shown to be a good indicator. If everything is a problem, the mails are not replied within a reasonble time, you have to put in a lot of energy to get basic information, they do not have nechanisms to for example find housing, organize health care, contact with embassis - they probably do not take good care of foreigh studets.

“Interesting finance courses but somewhat dismay in fundamental ones”
anonymous
Norway, Graduate
Business Studies, 2019
Overall
Courses are structured in such a way that first provides the students with necessary fundamental knowledge and then immerse them in the more advanced and up-to-date finance knowledge.
First semester starts with mathematics, econometrics, and asset pricing. Other business courses are included such as microeconomics and business ethics. Then the second and fourth semesters are when the students dwell in more complicated and specific focuses in finance such as Investments, Valuation, Risk Management, and Portfolio Management.
The core courses in finance are all very good, the materials are up-to-date, and most of the professors are academically and professionally excellent with in-depth knowledge in their field. However, the basic courses are led by not very good professors when they fail to provide justifiable reasons in grading.
Academic structure of the two-year master program is set so it's not possible to shorten to the program if one wishes to. Furthermore, it is worth noted that BI is a private school with tuition of roughly USD11,000 per year.
Overall, BI provides finance students with the most updated knowledge in finance, from M&A finance to asset management.

For cheap shopping, go on a cruise to Denmark or drive over to Sweden. Also Sæfflebussen is a cheap way to visit Goteborg or Stockholm.
Bring a private insurance since the normal insurance doesn't cover everything

Travelling around europe is very easy and therefore before going get visas for those countries not covered under schengen like UK, Switzerland, Czech republic etc. Busses are cheaper than trains. One can buy the Euroline Bus pass and save money. Also keep a lookout for cheap airlines like Ryanair, Goodjet, Gofly, Easyjet as they offer really cheap and sometime free tickets. I travelled on a Goodjet from Oslo to Paris for 19 euro.

BI did a good job, the exchange program was organised perfectly. I would maybe appreciate more social events and travelling organised by school.

The study exchange program at BI in Sandvika was just excellent. The life in Norway is very sporty and natural, so I recommend to be prepared for that - be prepared for all kinds of sports and outdoor events.
Norway has wonderful countryside and it is definitelly worth travelling around.
Be prepared that you will spend more money then in your home country, but don´t worry about that - they are worth spending.
This half a year with all its events and activities was extraordinary experience!!!
