Dear
friends and colleagues,
We still have a few places left for the summer school this year! Please
find some information below and I hope that you can pass this on to potential
students in their last year of a bachelor degree, or master students.
Students can apply in two ways: Either through the link below or through
the international office as part of an agreement. In this case they simply need
to be nominated by the university and we will follow up with the student.
Please contact me directly if you wish to nominate a student!
The summer school is free of charge – the only cost to the student is
the housing (very cheap!) and a registration fee of 750 NOK (about 90 euro).
Please note that this is a last minute call and that the students need
to apply by 10th June!
Kind regards,
Aase Galteland
