We look forward to welcoming our new students in August with an academic and social programme that will get you off to a great start at BI! Social integration is a focus of ours, and we will work on facilitating arenas where you can get to know your fellow students better, while still being in accordance with the latest transmission prevention guidelines and regulations from the government and BI. 

Pre-Programme:

In late July/early August you will be sent assorted information that will help you to prepare for your time at BI.

Prepatory courses will begin in early August. Details will be available on It's Learning from 25 July.

On the student portal you can also find an online Excel course. This is free of charge for BI students.

Save the Date: International Student Orientation, Friday 13 August

A separate international student orientation day will take place on the Friday before Orientation Week.

International students will be provided with necessary tools and information to facilitate a smooth transition into life as a student in Norway. This event will be digital.
