The Student Welfare Organisation (SiB)
SiB is partly funded by the semester fee, and is responsible for housing, nurseries, cafeterias, counselling services, and sports facilities for students and employees. As a student at the University of Bergen you are automatically a member of SiB when you pay the compulsory semester fee, or on the basis of an exchange agreement.

The main task of the Student Welfare Organisation is to contribute to your well-being during your time as a student in Bergen: SiB organises nursery schools, counselling, a mental health service, canteens, student accommodation and sports activities, to mention a few. It is all organised through their three departments, the Housing Department, the Catering Department and the Welfare Department. In addition SiB owns Studia, the academic bookshop where you can buy books and whatever else you need for your studies.
