Erasmus+/Nordlys/Nordplus exchange UNIS is not a university, but a university centre, and we do not offer any programmes or degrees, but only single courses on bachelor, master and PhD level. UNIS is not an accredited institution, and as such we do not have the opportunity to sign Erasmus+ agreements. However, students can come here on an Erasmus+ exchange if their university has an agreement with a Norwegian university.

What is UNISprout? UNISprout is a project based on “bioSPIRE”, a project from bioCEED which is being run at the University of Bergen. UNISprout is run by bioCEED and iEarth and provides an arena for biology students at the University Centre in Svalbard to gain experience in practical work within biology and geology, providing opportunities for hands-on fieldwork, labwork, or other tasks. The project will act as a bridge between bachelor students and master, PhD students, and staff at the departments of Arctic Biology (AB) and Arctic Geology (AG), UNIS.
