Semester Exchange has a duration of at least 3 months and gives you the opportunity to complete parts of your study abroad. KHiO has many exchange agreements that gives you benefits such as financial support, exemption from tuition fees at the host school and easier entry of your studies abroad in your curriculum at KHiO.
Start thinking of your exchange as early as possible! The preparations and application process can take some time but it's a fun and important part in your planning of taking one semester abroad. Your curriculum states when you have the opportunity to go on an exchange. Note that Master students in particular have a small window during their studies where an exchange is feasible.
Please contact your study advisor for help and guidance when you are thinking of going on an exchange.
KHiO has signed inter-institutional agreements with many academies and universities throughout the world, facilitating student exchange. We are participating in the Erasmus+ and Nordplus programmes, which give our students the possibility of financing their stay abroad. An inter-institutional agreement means that you do not have to pay tuition fees, and eases the recognition process at home.
There is a lot to keep track of when you are going on an exchange. Find out what you need to take care of before, during and after your exchange.
Lånekassen
You can receive financial support and loan from Lånekassen. In addition to basic support you may receive travel grant, language grant, additional grant and support for coverage of tuition fees.
Erasmus+ Grant
In addition to grants from Lånekassen you may receive Erasmus+ Grant if you conduct your studies abroad with a school we have signed an Erasmus agreeement with. The amount is EUR 410-460 per month.
Erasmus+ also has an additional grant EUR 250 per month that can be given to students with children, students who have long-term physical, mental, intellectual or sensory impairments and students with refugee status.
Are you planning for a trainee abroad during your studies, or after graduate, you can apply for a scholarship from Erasmus+. The minimum length of stay is 2 months (60 days) and the maximum is 12. The trainee have to take place abroad for to receive Erasmus+ funding.
It is your department that approves whether you can carry out practical training abroad during your education.
A traineeship after graduate is initiated by you. You can contact companies of relevance and ask about opportunities for trainee or apply for trainees that are advertised.
Interrupted exchanges or traineeship are handled differently based on the reason for the interruption. All or part of the scholarship may have to be repaid.
The total duration of exchange stays are 12 months per study level (per bachelor, per master). This means that you can only receive funding from Erasmus+ for maximum 12 months per study level.
If you are going on a traineeship after graduate, previous exchange months from your last degree will be deducted from the maximum length of the traineeship - for calculation of Erasmus+ funding.
At the Oslo National Academy of the Arts, the term “exam” refers to a written, practical and/or oral test or other type of assessment of the student’s knowledge and skills that underlies his or her final grade on their diploma or that serves as part of the basis for calculating a grade on the diploma.
An exam may be carried out as a production, exhibition, showing, task, written test, practical test, oral test or completion of a work/portfolio, or a combination of these forms.
