1. CHALLENGE YOURSELF
Moving abroad entails significant change: a new country, a new city, a new school, a new language, and new people. You will learn extensively—especially about yourself.
2. NEW ACADEMIC AMBITIONS
The international opportunities provided by NHH enable you to study at some of the world’s top universities. You have the opportunity to learn from leading scholars in various academic disciplines and collaborate with ambitious students from around the globe.
3. LEARN A NEW LANGUAGE
Strong language skills are vital in a globalized world. Living in another country provides an excellent foundation for acquiring a new language.
4. EXPERIENCE OTHER CULTURES
Wherever you go, you will encounter many differences from life at home. Engaging with other cultures enables you not only to gain broader insights into the world but also to deepen your understanding of your own cultural identity. Research indicates that multicultural knowledge enhances individuals’ creativity and adaptability..
5. BE ATTRACTIVE ON THE JOB MARKET
A growing number of employers — both Norwegian and international — operate globally and therefore require employees with international experience. Being recognized as a professional in this domain necessitates strong language skills and the ability to understand and respect cultural differences.
A key to success is the capability to adapt and thrive in new environments. Employers seek individuals willing to step outside their comfort zones. Participating in a semester or more abroad offers you the opportunity to demonstrate your adaptability and readiness to embrace new challenges.
