Study environment

The study program is intense through its initial fieldwork based course. The students form a «real team» in addressing on local issues and opportunities. The international students from developing countries are resource persons with rich cultural backgrounds and experiences from overpopulated urban environments. The Nordic and European students bring their societal context of the welfare state, local governance and environmental challenges of urban centres. Together this makes a «fertile» ground of exchange and learning. We have good experiences with Nordic excursion in the first year of study.
