If you enjoy hiking or being in nature, you have so much to look forward to as a student in Volda. This area offers endless opportunities for outdoor activities, but also activities best enjoyed indoors. See underneath a list of student festivals taking place in Volda.
The Buddy Week
During the Buddy Week, new students get to know their way around Volda and the university college, as well as getting acquainted with each other and the old students. The buddies work hard so that the new students have a great semester start. This is visible through the many concerts, outdoor events, campus tours, meetings and festivals which are organised during the first week of school.
