A summer school is an intensive course taught as a collaboration between our own faculty staff and international partner universities.
The School of Business and Social Sciences has since 2005 been running a summer programme at campus Ringerike in cooperation with Texas Tech University. The programme has become a huge success, attracting students from Norway and the rest of Europe, Asia and North-America! Our students have also participated in faculty-led summer programmes, ran by our School of business in the United States, Bosnia and Romania.
The summer schools are arranged from mid-May until Mid-June, when the exam period at USN is due.
