Why study in Northern Norway
Popular and unique programs, a wide range of exchange opportunities, an inclusive student community, and close proximity to stunning nature and cultural experiences – these are just some of the reasons why UiT is a great place to be a student.
Untamed Nature and Endless Activities
At UiT, raw nature is right outside your student housing. All our campuses are close to breathtaking natural experiences that change with the seasons. Witness the northern lights in winter, the midnight sun in summer, hike mountain trails on foot or skis, go whale watching, or explore activities like sailing, cycling, fishing, climbing, kayaking, and countless winter sports.
If you love the outdoors, enjoy staying active, or simply appreciate being in nature, UiT is the perfect place for you!

Strong Internship Opportunities and High Academic Quality
We work hard to make sure as many of our students as possible get real-world experience. For example, we’re the only university that offers mandatory internships for law students.
