Student testimonials

Meet the class representative of the previous joint master’s programme, SSIs, run by the same consortium. Testimonials from the first SSI² cohort will follow after autumn 2027.

Visa

You will live in three countries, so you may need a separate visa or residence permit for each one. The consortium helps and advises admitted students on the process in every country, but the universities cannot influence visa decisions. Apply early and keep your documents ready.

Housing

Support services at all three universities actively help students find accommodation, but paying for accommodation and daily living costs is the student’s responsibility. In Vestfold, the Student Welfare Organization offers housing to USN students.

Welfare

All enrolled students are covered by the programme’s mandatory insurance scheme. Each university also offers student counselling, health and special-needs support, and active student communities.
