Students of the study programme Nordic Forestry and Wildlife Management, spring 2010

Each year, students from many different countries of Europe and the Overseas join the English-taught study programmes. In the study year of 2010-11, Evenstad is host for more than 50 students from more than 20 different nations on campus. Most of them are Erasmus students, i.e. European students with an Erasmus exchange scholarship. Nordic and Baltic students often have a Nordplus scholarship paid by the Nordic Council of Ministers.

Why do such highly motivated students come to this campus in the middle of nowhere for studying? Evenstad is a special place for students interested in wildlife, ecology and forestry due to its scientific reputation, the nearness to natural and semi-natural habitats, and the possibility to combine outdoor recreation with studies.
