How to apply for student exhange
For students who transfer to the Bachelor of Science in Biology, this programme provides career opportunities for graduates in both the private and public sector.
The semester package can generally be acknowledged as one semester of undergraduate education at universities, related to study programmes within aquaculture, marine biology or ecology. Upon transfer to our BSc in Biology and graduation in the programme, students are qualified for MSc in Biology and Aquaculture.
Semester registration fee (except for exchange students) and course literature. No tuition fees.
See individual course descriptions.
Students take an active part in the evaluation of the courses in the programme through mid-term and final evaluation. Dialogue meetings are also conducted between students and the programme director every semester.
