Courses in English

Course Catalogue 2010/2011

Most of the courses are integrated in the regular study programmes for Norwegian students, and are aimed at exchange students from our many partner institutons around the world.

We want the international and the Norwegian students to work together and to get to know each other through beeing together in the same classes, sharing experiences in the clinical field, or when working on mutual projects. We also arrange a Welcome Week for international students in the beginning of each semester as an introduction to studying at Bergen University College. For more information see how to apply and services for exchange students.

Grading

The credit or weighting system used at HiB is based upon a yearly workload of 60 credits, which corresponds to 60 European Credit Transfer System credits (ECTS). Assessment is given on basis of grading, either through a scale ranging from A to F or on the basis of Passed/Not Passed. Grade A is the highest pass grade, while Grade E is the lowest pass grade.
