UiB's Semester Startup Help Desk offers practical semester startup assistance to newly arrived international students. We're located on the ground floor of the Student Centre, right next to the SiB Housing Reception.

Opening hours for the spring semester 2016 will be announced here.

If you arrive in Bergen after we have closed for the semester, you may contact The Division of Student Affairs by e-mail (exchange-students@uib.no, master@uib.no or quota@uib.no) to make an individual appointment. We will then help you get started on the semester startup practicalities and hand you your welcome envelope.
