Campus Features
Campus Kristiansand is modeled on American campuses, with short distances between buildings and large green spaces connecting everything. Compact, but open. Large, but easily navigable.
Campus Grimstad is situated in Southern Norway’s technology park and is therefore near many businesses, some of which are cooperating with UiA. The campus is new, modern, and well-adapted to student life.
