Semester abroad

Parts of your Master's degree may be taken abroad. You can choose to take courses at an accredited foreign university, and/or you can do fieldwork in relation to your Master's thesis.

When can I go?

If you would like to study abroad, we highly recommend that you do this during your second semester. Fieldwork should be carried out in your third semester. The possibility of doing fieldwork is something that you should discuss with your supervisor.

Where can I go?

If you would like to take courses at a foreign university, you should talk to a member of the academic staff as well as your student adviser for advice and guidance.
