STUDENT ACTIVITIES AT UIA ENGAGE IN STUDENTS ACTIVITIES!

The Student Organization of Agder The Student Organization of Agder is an interest organization for all the students at the University of Agder. Our main purpose is to ensure the student´s academic, social, economic and welfare related interests.

Student Activities The study experience is not just books and exams; it is so much more than that! By engaging in student activities you will meet students from your own and other study programmes. Some student activities organize social arrangements and trips, and others organize academic events.

There are over 60 student activities at the University of Agder, and they are all members of the Student Organization of Agder. Among the activities there are a distinction between activities that is open for everyone, and activities that are aimed at students at a speci c faculty or study programme, so-called Linjeforeninger. All students in a speci c study programme are automatic member of Linjeforeningen.

Below, you will nd an overview of all activities you can engage in at the University of Agder, listed by interests, and each year the number of activities is increased. Some of the activities are established at both campuses, Grimstad and Kristiansand, but most of them are only established in either Grimstad or Kristiansand.
