Avis sur Universitetet i Tromsø (UIT)

I recommend it strongly, I loved it. But I'm not everybody. Tromsø is located at 70 degrees north, a place with fantastic nature, close to wilderness and so on. "Big city people" who are not into that, might have problems to cope with this. If not you will enjoy the year of your life!

it's a very good university and it gives you many opportunity, in your studies and for your personal experince. even geographically it's extreme and this is a challenging experience but unique and difficult to understand if you don't try. I was impressed by teachers and by their disponibility, the atmospheer is relaxed but very professional at the same time. if i have the possibility i will try to go back for some specializations.

It has a very friendly international atmosphere. This may be further enhanced if they require international students to learn and pass the local language as part of their programmes

I can recommend the course "Arctic Norway" (in English), which is a brilliant mixture of (Northern) Norwegian history, social anthropology and politics. I even got an idea about my thesis there. There was nothing missing at that course. The course "Norwegian for foreigners" is recommended for people who want to learn more about the language, not to learn the language. For those the evening courses are highly recommended.
