Pro-Rector Levi Gårseth-Nesbakk

Nord Summer School offers diverse, intensive courses for young professionals and students who wish to grow their international network, develop their intercultural communication skills, and are interested in the Arctic.

“Northern Norway is spectacular in the summer, and we believe this pilot is a good opportunity for students to both experience the arctic beauty of Norway while combining it with academic studies. We have developed a set of new courses ranging from sports science to sustainability: there is something for everyone” Gårseth-Nesbakk continues.
