Campus Stord

Campus Stord is located a few kilometres from the town Leirvik in a beautiful natural setting close to the mountains, fjords and the sea. We have approximately 1500 students and about 150 employees. The campus is known for its creative study programs and outdoor pedagogics, learning how to use nature in teaching.

The campus has its own beach, park, student house, gym and soccer field. The student organisations on campus arrange activities for students throughout the year, from sailing and soccer games to quiz nights, theme parties and music festivals. The island of Stord also offers many opportunities to hiking, sailing, fishing, biking, skiing and much more.

All facilities at campus Stord are located within walking distance from the on-campus student accommodation. The buildings are a combination of modern and traditional Norwegian architecture and all buildings have wireless Internet access. We offer a friendly atmosphere with helpful students, lecturers and administrative staff.

Orientation Days and Buddy programme

All our international exchange students are strongly advised to participate in the Orientation Days in the beginning of each semester (mid-August and the beginning of January). The Orientation Days is a mix of lectures and social activities. It is an excellent opportunity for you to meet other newly arrived exchange students and receive important information and practical support.

The buddy programme is designed to make you feel welcome and at home during your stay by offering you to be part of a buddy group.
