Nordlys
You can apply for Nordplus exchange through Nordlys:

- if you want non-standard course combinations,
- if you wish to take courses not offered at UiO.
For most partner institutions in the network, the student will receive an Erasmus+ grant instead of a Nordlys grant. You will get information about the grant after you have received an offer through Nordlys.
The Nordlys grant is used for a few destinations and will depend on the number of applicants. The amount is is currently 250 euro per month and one semester is usually considered to be five months. In some cases you may also be awarded a travel grant, and this grant will depend on your destination.

More about Nordplus and Nordlys
Nordplus is the Nordic Council of Ministers' programme for student and staff exchange in higher education. The faculties and institutes own the Nordplus agreements, and you can only exchange within the network that your faculty or institute is part of.
In S?knadsweb, you can apply for the Nordplus agreements listed under your faculty.
Nordlys is an option if you want to exchange to a Nordic country where your faculty or department does not have an agreement. The Nordlys network is the largest network within the Nordplus programme, and aims to increase student exchange between the Nordic countries.
Due to limited funding in the Nordlys network, students who have applied previously will not be prioritised for scholarships.
In S?knadsweb, you will find the Nordlys agreements listed under UiO university-wide agreements.
