KULTURSTUDIER - Who we are

KULTURSTUDIER is an organisation run by a group of social scientists and humanists whose background is from the University of Oslo. We have arranged studies abroad since 1997 in cooperation with selected universities around the world. Our programmes provide transferable credits from Scandinavian universities (the European credit transfer system) and are eligible for support from state educational loan funds. The independent status of KULTURSTUDIER makes it possible for us to recruit the best lecturers and seminar tutors from each field of study. We are very proud of our proficient teaching staff who each semester ensure that you as a student will get the maximum benefit from your studies.

KULTURSTUDIER runs its programmes in beautiful study centres in Argentina, Vietnam, India and Nicaragua that together cater for approximately 300 students per semester. The study centres are located on the basis of attributes such as academic institutions, infrastructure, safety, cultural interest, and beach. These places are the fulfilment of our dreams. Our administrative staff at the centres do their utmost to ensure that your study period is interesting, enjoyable and academically rewarding.

Our independent status gives us the freedom to recruit the best lecturers on each topic, from around the world. We are very proud of our academic staff who every semester ensures that our students get the maximum benefits from their studies.
