The Department of Education has its own exchange agreements that are subject-related. The agreements are established with universities and around Europe and the world that offer a range of courses and programs in education.

Bilateral agreements

Exchange studies in bilateral agreements are free of charge, thanks to the agreement reached between our department and the host university, which means that you do not have to pay any tuition fees. During the studies, you receive study grants from CSN, but unlike exchange studies within the Nordlys, Erasmus and Nordplus programs, no scholarships are awarded.

Erasmus is an exchange program within the EU that aims to promote student mobility within Europe. We have signed Erasmus + agreements with all our exchange universities in Europe.

If you have been offered an Erasmus exchange place at one of our European universities, you are entitled to an Erasmus scholarship: Erasmus + scholarship. You also need to take a compulsory language test both before and after your Erasmus exchange. Language test for outgoing Erasmus students. Finally, you should write a travel report immediately after your exchange term.
