UiS offers unique learning opportunities through ECIU University. Travel on short-term exchange, join international student teams and enrich your CV!
University is 13 European universities working together to reinvent the way we learn. In our brand new platform, students can discover and join learning opportunities to boost their skills and competences, and work on real-life problems with people across Europe.
ECIU University offers two different types of learning opportunities.
Challenges are learning opportunities that engage diverse teams to solve real-life problems using a novel and practical method of challenge-based learning (CBL). ECIU University picks challenges that the communities and organisations face at this very moment.
Micro-modules are short learning opportunities that support learners to fill their knowledge gaps and boost their capabilities to successfully engage in ECIU University challenges.
At the moment we offer 4 main topics: Circular economy, Energy and sustainability, Resilient communities, and Transport and mobility. In addition to these themes, we also focus on the theme of entrepreneurship, technology and innovation as well as developing competencies, such as language learning.
