1. Apply directly to UNIS - Visit the UNIS website: UNIS - The university centre in Svalbard
2. Get nominated by your home educational institution to UiT: your home educational institution must nominate you via UiT's online nomination service (Nomination Web) For Partner Institutions: Online Nomination Procedures for Exchange Students | UiT
3. Submit documents to UiT after nomination, you will receive an email from UiT with instructions to log in to the Application Web )Søknadsweb) to submit ONLY your (1) passport and (2) transcript of records.
