VUC top 5 in Norway on student mobility

SiU has published the results from a new survey on student mobility at Norwegian universities and university colleges. The survey has looked at the percentage of graduates in the spring of 2015 with mobility period included in their Bachelor's or Master's degrees. The Norwegian School of Economics is on top of the results with 50 percent of their graduates with student exchange.

Arne Humberset, Head of the International Office, is happy with VUC being high on national statistics relating to internationalization, but also states that they are not fully content with today's situation.

– Of our study programmes, some send more than 50 percent of their students on exchange while other programmes are closer to 0 percent. The key to increased student exchange is to find relevant partner universities for all study programmes. As a result, we have worked hard this winter to map all VUC's international agreements and to add new agreements where appropriate, says Humberset.

Wednesday, February 3 is the date for the VUC International Day 2016. On this day, many of our European, US and Australian partner universities will be represented on stands for our International Fair. We recommend all students to stop by the International Fair for inspiration or to find out more about our partner universities, ends Humberset.
