Innledning

Internationalisation is a focus area at Telemark University College. The course options reflect a desire to include international students in the Telemark University College's academic program, as well as to provide the opportunity for Norwegian students to do parts of their studies in English.

The aim of this program, which is possible to attend for a full academic year, or the fall or spring semester only, is to offer international undergratudate students an extended period of immersion into the cultural setting of academic studies at the Bø campus. The students will be exposed to the requirements of critical thinking and independent work which characterises the Norwegian academic context and, moreover, experience the personal developments involved by adjusting to a new learning culture.
