Norwegian School of Economics - Haskayne Only

Attend one of Norway's Top 2 business institutions in Bergen: a coastal city along the fjords with its own unique food culture. This is the only place in Norway you can get the famous Bergen cinnamon bun, the "skillingsboller"! (Not into pastries? Try the local reindeer hot dog!)

Located in picturesque Bergen on Norway's southwestern coast, the Norwegian School of Economics (NHH) is one of Norway's top two institutions for business, management and economics. It is regarded as one of the top business schools in Europe (QS 2019), and is in one of the most scenic fjordland locations in Scandinavia, making it the perfect place to get that instagram-worthy photo.

Please consult the host university's website to create a tentative list of 60 ECTS credits per semester that you are interested in taking. This list may be based on the current or previous year's courses.

Undergraduate courses available for incoming students: https://www.nhh.no/en/for-students/courses/bachelor-courses-for-exchange-students/

Course conversion: 6 ECTS = 3 units at the UofC (IE one half-course equivalent course).

Please see the academic calendar for details.

  1. Costs

    Exchange students pay their tuition and academic fees to the University of Calgary. Other expenses are paid directly to the service provider. 

  2. Funding

    Did you know that you can take your UCalgary funding with you on exchange? Since you remain a degree seeking student at UCalgary while on exchange you remain eligible for any awards and scholarships you are eligible to receive from the university as well as student loans.

    UC International administers the International Study Travel Grant for students travelling on approved UCalgary study programs that are credit bearing. The amount changes year to year as the money is split evenly between qualified applicants. Students may only receive the study travel grant once. Please see the funding page for more information.

Haskayne students at UCalgary can ONLY apply for this partner through Haskayne, and must meet the Haskayne requirements for exchange.

The exchange advisor for this program is: Stacey McGregor

International travel presents challenges that may not be found when attending classes on campus. There may be a lack of resources, emergency services, hospitals, accessibility issues and/or demands on the physical and the mental self, all of which can challenge individuals when away from their usual support systems and structures. Adequate preparation is essential.

For this reason, it is imperative that you evaluate all aspects of your own physical, psychological, emotional and spiritual condition against the rigors of the particular global learning program you are selecting. If you are unsure of whether or not this program is a good fit for you and/or if you have any circumstances that could impede your enjoyment of the program, please contact us. Our Global Learning Advisors will be happy to assist in finding the best options for you and arrange any supports or accommodations necessary to ensure your success.

If you have or are seeking a certificate from Student Accessibility Services, you should provide this early to your Global Learning Advisor to ensure that the option that you are seeking can support your needs.

Please note: All participants must adhere to COVID-19 and other vaccination-related requirements for the destinations visited on this program. Failure to do so may have consequences such as being denied access to accommodation/housing, program activities, or to the host country itself.
