Outside the regular programmes there are two weeks per year when students participate in special Project-Based Learning programmes (PBLs).
PBLs enable staff and students to pursue a particular interest and learn together outside the class room. Examples of PBLs include:
Photography
Surfing & Climbing Expeditions
Dance and Identity
Yoga & Meditation
Kayaking expeditions
Chinese Kung Fu
Traditional Norwegian Boat-building
Skin Diving
Intercultural Communication
First-year students spend their second PBL week to 1) learn about and hold a Model United Nations simulation exercise and 2) undergo an intensive programme of the Red Cross basic First Aid Training. First-year students also participate in one week of Nordic skiing during Friluftsveke, while second-year students use the week for reading.
