The students represent 53 nations from all five continents. Germany is at the top of the list followed by Russia, France, Spain, Denmark and the US.
In his welcome address to the students professor Ruud encouraged them to involve themselves in an active learning environment. Over a four-day period students will be introduced to the Norwegian culture, practical matters, and meet representatives from the International Office and their respective faculties.
