Erasmus+ exchange at the University Hospital of Northern Norway
The University Hospital of Northern Norway (UNN) is a hospital, not a university per definition. We are therefore not part of the Erasmus + exchange program. The Artic University of Norway is our co-partner in health education and part of the Erasmus + exchange program. In order to have an internship at the University Hospital of North Norway (UNN) as a part of the Erasmus + exchange program, we require that students need to be part of a Erasmus + exchange program between their University College and UiT the Arctic University of Norway.

Additional information about postgraduate medical education
The Artic University of Norway, our co-partner in health education, do not offer postgraduate medical education. In Norway, medical graduates gain access to postgraduate medical education through employment in hospitals or primary care institutions. Employment as a postgraduate in medicine at UNN require, among other things, that you are fluent in Norwegian or another Scandinavian language.
