NMBU offers plenty of opportunities to engage in a wide spectrum of social activities, student associations and hobbies.
One of the main reasons for the good student environment at NMBU is the great diversity of student associations. There are around 70 different student associations and clubs at the university. No matter what your interests are, you will be able to cultivate them: song, music, dance, politics, sports, food, photography and lots more are waiting for you here at Ås.
New students can check out a large selection of these during Buddy Week. In this introduction week, each association will introduce itself and you'll get an insight into how association life works and how you can sign up. By being part of a student association at NMBU, you get a network that extends across the entire student community and an enriching social life beyond academic studies. Push yourself, it almost always pays off!
Introduction and Buddy Week
Every autumn semester, NMBU organises Buddy Week (Fadderuka) for our new students. We welcome you to a fun, safe and social start to the semester. No questions are stupid. Everyone was new at some point!
There are many good reasons to take part in Buddy Week:
- You get to know the people you are going to study with
- You get to explore the campus together
- You get to know the various student organisations at NMBU
- It's fun, social, and inclusive
In addition to Buddy Week, Introduction Week is organized for all new international students one week earlier.
