University of Bergen
MAUI-Utrecht is a total immersion program. In most cases, MAUI-Utrecht participants register as a regular student at the host institution, take the same courses and have the same assignments, and participate in the same activities as the local students at that institution. This means that a student applying for a MAUI-Utrecht site must be more proactive and prepared to handle being in a location where they may be the only KU student in the program.
For more information on the MAUI-Utrecht site in Norway, check out the MAUI-Utrecht Norway page.
The University of Bergen is located in Bergen, which is located in the Hordaland county on the west coast of Norway. The population of Bergen is around 280,000 people, so it proves to be the second most-populated city in all of Norway (behind Oslo of course). Bergen is home to a World Hertiage Site: the remains of the Bryggen quays! Also, Bergen is seen as an international center for sea trades: aquaculture, shipping, subsea technology, and offshore petroleum practices. Lastly, Bergen is dubbed the city of the Seven Mountains.
