Semester abroad (2026–2030)

Students may take 1-2 semesters of their studies at one of the university college's partner institutions. Both the International Coordinator at the department as well as HiØ's International Office help accommodate studies abroad, and the department have exchange agreements with several universities in Europe, USA, Canada and Australia.

Detailed information on exchange opportunities at universities abroad can be found on HiØ's international pages.

A study abroad stay shall replace the equivalent semester at Østfold University of Applied Sciences and will be included in the Norwegian master’s degree. The courses you are taking abroad must therefore be pre-approved by the university college.

International experience can offer advantages in the job market, where language and cultural competence are in demand. An exchange program will also provide you with the skills to operate in an international job market.
