This semester package is offered to exchange students from our partner universities and single course applicants. The applicant must be a full-time student on a master's programme within biology or related fields.

Exchange students are admitted on the basis of nomination by their home institution. The student must first apply to their home university to participate. The home institution will provide the student with information about the admission requirements.

Please go to student exchange to Nord for more information about the admissions process at Nord University.

If the student wishes to transfer to the Master of Biosciences, the credits from the semester package would generally be recognized as equivalent to a full semester in our master's programme.

The programme is evaluated via student questionnaire, as well as by the programme director. The evaluations form a part of the University's quality assurance system.
