The current UMB strategic plan points to internationalisation as important to the University, focusing in particular on international exchange and competence building, but also to establishing strong academic networks.

UMB has exchange agreements with more than 50 universities worldwide, including six Nordic, 44 European and eight North American institutions. In addition, UMB has cooperation agreements with Tribhuvan University in Nepal and Makerere University in Uganda. UMB is also active together with other Nordic universities in NOVA (see below). Institutional partnerships with universities in developing countries are carried out mainly through the Department of International Environment and Development Studies (Noragric).

NOVA

The NOVA University Network was formally established in 1995 and consists of 7 member universities. NOVA’s general objective is to increase the scope of cooperation between these member institutions, thereby improving the quality of research and education. This is achieved by student and teacher mobility, developing NOVA undergraduate, graduate and doctorate courses as well as complete joint NOVA study programmes, in which tasks are divided between the different institutions. Research cooperation, based on the strengths of the member institutions, also promotes improved quality of research. NOVA also markets its activities internationally, e.g., via cooperation projects with the Baltic Sea region, developing countries and the EU.
