Om studiet

Experience Norway like a local. Cook tasty dishes, learn the language, meet the Vikings and explore our culture. Travel with new friends and experience the real Norway — up close and unforgettable!

This program is designed to give you a deeper dive into Norwegian life and way of living.

It’s tailored for international students who want to truly experience how Norwegians live - making amazing food, learning the language, and diving into a different culture.

You’ll explore:

  • Everyday Norwegian Language – Learn useful phrases and expressions you can actually use. It`s not a grammar course, but a fun, hands-on way to speak and understand everyday Norwegian.

  • Traditional Food and Cooking – Try out Norwegian classics like "fårikål", "komle" and fresh seafood. You’ll also learn to cook them yourself.

  • Society and Customs – Discover how Norwegians live their daily life, by sharing everyday with fellow Norwegian students.

  • History – Step back in time at a real Viking Village, where you’ll meet modern-day Vikings and try out ancient skills. Hear powerful stories from Norway’s wartime past—and how today’s Norway got shaped.

  • Breathtaking Nature – Hike on the ice-covered glacier of Folgefonna, go cross-country skiing in the mountains and visit nearby islands with boat.

    Exciting Excursions:

  • West Coast highlights – glacier, fjords and apple farm in Hardanger

  • Meet real Vikings in an authentic Viking Village

  • Unplug and recharge in a cozy cabin—deep in the forest or on a remote island. This peaceful escape is a unique part of Norwegian culture.

  • Try cross-country skiing in the high mountains and experience the wilderness like a true Norwegian adventurer
