📌 Step 1: Apply through your home institution

Students cannot apply directly to UiT for BIPs or micro-courses.

  • Apply through your home institution.
  • Your home institution selects participants internally.
  • Selected students are nominated to UiT.

We recommend contacting your Erasmus Coordinator, International Office, or academic coordinator for information about available opportunities and nomination procedures.


After receiving the nominations, UiT reviews each nomination and confirms that the nominated students meet the programme requirements.


  • Eligible students receive a link to an online application form.
  • Upload the required document: a copy of your passport or national ID card.
  • Submit your application for enrolment.

⏳ After you have submitted your application and uploaded all required documents, enrolment normally takes approximately one week.


Once you have been enrolled at UiT, we will register you for the relevant BIP or micro-course.


After enrolment, you will receive your UiT student user account activation information by email. Please keep an eye on your inbox (and spam/junk folder).
