International Novia UAS

In an increasingly multicultural society and international working life, new skills are needed. By gaining international experience during your study time, you improve your opportunities to work in a multicultural environment both internationally and in your home country.

Novia offers English-taught programmes at bachelor’s and master’s levels. We participate in numerous exchange programmes and international projects. We can also offer Double Degree programs in specific study fields. We have about 750 international degree students from more than 50 different countries and about 150 incoming exchange students annually, all of whom contribute to creating an international study environment. A central goal of Novia is to integrate international activities into teaching and in the study environment in a natural way.

In 2022, 241 Novia students went abroad for exchange studies or practical training. The most popular countries were Spain, Sweden and Germany for exchanges over three months. Novia accepted 135 exchange students in 2022, most of them coming from Spain, Germany and the Netherlands.

Nordplus

The Nordplus Higher Education Programme is a mobility and network programme in the higher education sector, on bachelor and master levels, for the Nordic and Baltic countries.

The aim of the programme is to create a collaboration between the institutions that participate in the programme through exchanges, experience, good practice and innovative results. The programme also supports collaboration between higher education institutions and other organizations.

Collaboration takes place in networks consisting of at least three higher education institutions from at least three countries. A network may collaborate in one subject field with one theme or be cross-sectional combining several fields of study. Collaboration include student and staff mobility but also intensive courses and common projects.

Novia participates in about 20 different Nordplus networks.
