For law students an exchange to Bergen is hard to beat considering you only need to take 3 subjects to receive credit for 5 subjectsand the subjects are both interesting and engaging. This coupled with amazing social experiences and travel opportunities and an exchange at the Universityof Bergen in Norway is an experience I would have no hesitations in recommending to any student." 2010 Contact information: Co-ordinator
