Course recommendations
Not especially, I ended up on the wrong course and couldn«t change so make sure you know what is open to you, I could have studied anything but my home institution gave the impression that this wasn«t the case, my advice is make sure you have checked all your options before applying to study abroad.

Course recommendations
Where you decide to study in Norway with Erasmus Program, you can only choose 2 courses per term, then finally you only have 6 to 10 hours of courses per week. Finally you have 2 exams per term of 6 hours.

Personal comments
Amatøren, Garage, a place downtown I don't remember the name of... but it was very nice! But most of the student nightlife occurs in the student village, since it's quite expensive to go out. You just have to get used to it, and once you are, it's not bad at all!

“I am staying in Georgia while studying at the University of Oslo remotely.”
Giorgi B
Georgia, Undergraduate
Philology, 2022
Overall
I am interested in literature and linguistics, my favorite writer Henrik Ibsen was Norwegian. My lecturer Giuliano Damico says that I am the only person he knows who learned Norwegian due to Henrik Ibsen, although, it is not so unique famous British writer James Joyce learned the Norwegian language for the same reason. I have studied on campus in Oslo for two months and it was amazing, now studying remotely which is not the same, however, they still provide a very high academic level, anyway, I am pretty sure that Uio is the best place in the world to study Ibsen.

“Quality teaching and variety of courses”
Rocío R

Sociology, 2021
Overall
The campus at Blindern is very beautiful, full of places to eat, study, or simply meet with friends. The courses offered are varied and very interesting, useful and with a complete curriculum. The teachers are dedicated and offer personalized attention despite the students in a class being very numerous. The books are very expensive but can be found second hand in Facebook or in the university library. UiO offers a lot of services like printing for free, or working at the student bars/cafes as a volunteer. The courses are very broad and long so you will need to read a lot, but the exams are fair and the subjects interesting.
