With over 106 nationalities, 21,000 students, and 1,800 international students, BI Norwegian Business School in Oslo is a top-tier, diverse institution in the heart of Norway’s capital city. BI has earned the prestigious triple accreditation (less than 1% of all business schools worldwide can claim this honor), and is known for its outstanding programs. At BI, you can choose from a wide range of courses taught in English while getting to know the Scandinavian way of doing business and living life in a country with the one of the highest quality of life in the world.
Oslo is the fastest growing capital in Europe. The city has more than 600,000 inhabitants, making it big enough to benefit from everything a big city has to offer, but small enough to be a safe place to live. From Oslo you can reach European cities like London, Paris, Berlin, and Stockholm in two hours or less, making it easy to explore the rest of Europe … if you ever want to leave Norway, that is. With breathtaking fjords, majestic mountains, and endless outdoor recreational opportunities, Norway is a paradise for the outdoor enthusiast.

The academics at BI are one of the school’s biggest advantages: professors are highly regarded, classes are rigorous but rewarding, and the school is at the forefront of digitalization in higher education. As such, technology and innovative methods are common in the classroom. Course structure will resemble that at UW-Madison, with lectures being the most common teaching method, classes meeting two or three times a week, and a reasonable amount of homework. Courses are taught in English
International Business majors at the Wisconsin School of Business are required to study abroad for a semester in their Region of Emphasis. Only the semester program satisfies that requirement for Western Europe.
Use the links below to see a list of courses that past students have taken
on this program and the UW equivalents. Note: This list only includes
pre-approved courses for your program and may not be an exhaustive list of
courses, departments or equivalents. Courses may not be available the
semester you are abroad. You will receive instructions on the course

Once you get past the awe-inspiring landscape of Norway, you realize that Oslo is a gem amongst the sweeping countryside. Featuring world-class museums and art galleries, a thriving café scene, and top-notch restaurants, it’s easy to see why so many have chosen to make Oslo their home (immigrants make up 25% of Oslo’s population). From the Nobel Prize Ceremony to the annual rock festival Øyafestivalen which attracts over 60,000 people, the city always has an interesting event to attend, or exhibit to see, or restaurant to try. Mirroring the surrounding landscapes of Norway, Oslo itself offers an impressive array of parks and green spaces, making the city feel wonderfully natural and clean.
Cost of living varies widely by location. Be sure to consult a variety of resources when researching cost of living.
Housing
BI will work with you to find housing, typically in the Anker Studentboliger, a large dormitory-like building located in the city center. You will have your own furnished bedroom and a shared or private bathroom. You will share kitchen facilities with others on your floor.
Housing is guaranteed for exchange students if they apply before the housing application deadline. The housing application deadline is typically May 1 for the fall semester and October 1 for the spring semester. More information about housing is available on the International Office's Housing website.
Program Considerations
In a physical sense, the on-site experience may be very different from life on the UW campus. You may walk or take public transportation more than you are used to in Madison. The physical activity level will vary by program, but in general you should be prepared for extended periods of time walking, potentially on uneven terrain.
For many students, discovering and experiencing new foods is a part of the experience. It is important to consider any dietary restrictions, whether they are due to health conditions, religious beliefs, or individual needs, and look into whether you can get the foods you need locally.
How you identify yourself in Madison may differ from how people will view you on-site. Consider exploring our Identity Resources to reflect on how your identities may impact your experience. Students with disabilities should keep in mind that attitudes and laws related to disabilities vary by country, and these differences may impact the level of accommodation available in a particular location. More details are available on our page on Study Abroad for Students with Disabilities.
We encourage you to contact your Study Abroad Advisor and share your accommodation needs with us as early as possible. This will allow us to help you explore your options in advance.
Excursions and Activities
BI works hard to ensure that you have many opportunities throughout your semester to engage with other students and see Oslo. Once a month, international students are invited to a free dinner (BInner), and one Sunday a month the University Chaplain invites exchange students to a trip in the city. In addition to these monthly events, the school has a very active student union whose purpose is to arrange social and academic events (ranging from extreme sports to mock stock exchanges!).
On-Site Support
BI provides numerous services to support you during your exchange. In addition to an extensive orientation program, exchange students have access to high quality health services, athletic facilities, careers service, a massive library, IT services, on-campus dining options, and more.
Orientation
The Wisconsin School of Business expects you to be an active participant in preparing yourself for your study abroad experience. As a participant on a WSB study abroad program, you will receive a pre-departure orientation, either in-person or online. The type and format of this orientation will vary by program and will be provided to you upon acceptance to the program.
BI offers a comprehensive orientation week for exchange students, filled with social and academic events to introduce you to BI, Oslo, Norway, and your fellow students. Social events include BBQs, ball games, sightseeing tours, concerts, a coffee hour, and group lunches. Many of these activities are organized by the school’s Fadderullan Crew (a group of local students who are passionate about meeting exchange students and guaranteeing their success at BI). Other events focus on acclimating you to BI and life in Oslo in general, including Norwegian language classes.
Visa
Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months beyond the end of the program. The visa for Norway is called a Student Residence Permit. You must have a valid passport to apply for your Student Residence Permit. You apply independently for the Student Residence Permit.
You are responsible for arranging round-trip transportation to the program site. BI will provide additional details about when you can access student housing.
Insurance
You will be enrolled in the UW System required health insurance through Cultural Insurance Services International (CISI) and the cost of the insurance coverage is included in program fees.
International students: You may file to waive the Student Health Insurance Plan (SHIP) for the time you are abroad. Contact SHIP for more information. Waiver requests must be submitted before you study abroad.
If you are a citizen of a country other than the United States and will remain/study in, or travel to your country of record (the location of your permanent residence), the insurance provided for you is the same as the “study away” insurance provided to U.S. citizens studying on domestic U.S. programs. You may want to explore alternative or additional international health and medical insurance that will cover your needs both while in and during any period of transit to/from your country of record. This may include participation in a national healthcare plan or coverage provided under a personal healthcare plan in your country of record. If you have questions about the coverage of the “study away” plan, please speak with your Study Abroad Advisor.
All other students participating on an international program will automatically be enrolled in Cultural Insurance Services International (CISI), the university's international health, medical and repatriation insurance policy.
Program cost information includes program fees, as well as out-of-pocket expenses with notes to help explain costs. Program fees are estimated and can be adjusted at any time. Once accepted, you will receive a cost sheet that includes confirmed program fees and additional out-of-pocket expenses. "The IAP Program Fee" and all processes and policies stated on this cost sheet apply to all participants on programs managed by International Academic Programs (IAP) and in partnership with the College of Agricultural and Life Sciences, the College of Engineering, and Wisconsin School of Business. All students participating on approved programs are all eligible to apply for scholarships administered through IAP when they meet the scholarship eligibility and selection criteria.
UW–Madison students can typically use their financial aid on UW–Madison study abroad, domestic study away, and international internship programs. You need to complete a FAFSA if you want to be eligible to receive federal and state financial aid.
Beginning in 2026-27, the Office of Student Financial Aid will require all incoming undergraduate students to submit a CSS profile.
“The Oslo, Norway program does a wonderful job of supporting students during their stay in Norway. They set up programs for students to get to know one another better, but don't overload the student with too much. This then allows the student to explore the culture on their own, and get a firsthand experience. Study abroad was simply an enlightening experience that put the world into perspective. If you do not think you will be able to travel later in life, take the opportunity now! Students abroad get to experience a foreign country in a way that is totally different from taking a vacation in a foreign country.”
“The most rewarding part of studying abroad was meeting new people from a variety of backgrounds. Also, getting a different perspective on the world other than an American perspective.”

Bryan Davia Scholarship
Description
This scholarship is available to degree-seeking UW-Madison undergraduate students studying abroad on any UW-Madison study abroad program. Preferences for this scholarship include a minimum 2.75 cumulative GPA, financial need, first generation college student, and first time abroad.
The Bryan Davia Scholarship was created in his honor to commemorate his life and to continue to share his gift of enriching the lives of everyone around him. As someone who loved to explore the world and everything life had to offer, Bryan would want nothing more than to help others do the same. Bryan was a compassionate, outgoing, hard working alumni of UW-Madison who cherished his time studying abroad in Barcelona. During his time abroad, Bryan set out to discover everything his new home had to offer. Bryan possessed the ability to extract the energy of a city through the exploration of its music, nightlife, and food allowing him to fully integrate himself within his environment and it’s culture. Bryan understood the value of knowledge gained from experiences and social interactions, rather than just in a classroom. We hope the recipient of this scholarship shares his devotion to balancing hard work with an unrelenting desire to explore, discover, and enjoy every moment in their new city.
