Living in the Arctic, on an island surrounded by fjords and mountains, you will be able to gain extensive fieldwork experience. Apart from being fun, this experience will later help you to move on to an interesting career in scientific research, the private sector or government work. Tuition fees are only 60 Euros per semester for European students, and 21,600 Euros per year for international students. The Masters in Geosciences program starts every autumn semester. Application deadlines: 15 April for Nordic students, 01 March for European students, and 15 November (preceding year) for international students. Please email admission@uit.no for more information.

“Few places around the world can match the proximity to nature while providing a high academic standard. This attracts the kind of people who wake up extra early in the morning to get out to the mountains, skiing or hiking, before work!”
