International collaboration
The Faculty of Law is continuously working to develope cooperative agreements with the best law schools and law faculties around the world.
The Faculty of Law is strongly committed to international collaboration in research and education. To make studies abroad possible for our students, and to bring students from all over the world to our faculty to secure an international campus, we have signed cooperative agreements with some of the best law schools and law faculties around the world. Our students and researchers benefit from more than 150 international partners on faculty level, in addition to benefitting from the University of Bergen’s many institutional partnerships.
We firmly believe that a semester or year abroad broadens the students’ perspectives, gives valuable knowledge about foreign law and legal cultures and provides the students with an international network which will be valuable in their future careers. Also, while learning about foreign law and legal cultures, the students simultaneously increase their understanding and awareness of special characteristics of Norwegian law and legal culture.
Among the students graduating with a Master of Law degree from the University of Bergen over the last few years, between 40 and 50 % had spent a semester or a year abroad as part of their degree.
