Semester abroad
Students in the European History programme have an obligatory exchange of at least one semester as part of their degree, but will be offered the option to spend up to two semesters abroad at one or more of our partner universities. On this page you will find information on when you can go, when and how to apply and information on our partner universities.
When should I go?
It is compulsory for European History students to do at lease one semester abroad. For the second and third semesters, the students choose if they go abroad to study at one of the partner universities or stay at UiO. However, all students who enrol in the Joint Master in European History programme have to stay at least on semester at one of the partner institutions.
