* Only for students enrolled in the Master’s Programme in Social Anthropology who have completed ANTH4010, ANTH4020 and ANTH4030.
Rates and coverage
The Master’s Programme in Social Anthropology offers financial support for fieldwork expenses to promote and facilitate students' fieldwork.
Reimbursement is available for:
- travel to and from the field site (not local transportation)
- vaccination
- research permits
- visa fees, up to fixed rates depending on the location of the fieldwork
However, expenses for interpreters, local payments, housing, food, and other costs beyond those mentioned will not be covered. Travel expense must also be reasonable according to purpose. The university will for example not reimburse expense for business or first class tickets.
Students can only be reimbursed for expenses up to the maximum rate, and the reimbursement can only be claimed once. The rates are as follows:
- Fieldwork in Norway: up to 2.000 NOK
- Fieldwork in Europe: up to 5.000 NOK
- Fieldwork outside Europe: up to 10.000 NOK
Reimbursement process
To claim reimbursement, students must fill in this registration form. The form is open 1 September to 20 November.
Students without a Norwegian national identity number are also required to complete and upload a bank details form titled 'Payments Abroad'.
At some time after sending in the registration form, students will receive an e-mail with a link to the online self-service solution BetalMeg (repay me). To login to the portal, students will get a one-time password by SMS (OTP Security message). Students will also receive an email from the administration with additional information and guidance.
Students will have to upload the following documentation:
- Receipt(s) that prove that the payment has been made. A receipt must show the amount paid and the date payment was made.
- Ticket(s) and boarding card(s) must be uploaded in addition to receipt(s). For round-trip tickets, all boarding cards must be included for reimbursement.
When all documentation has been successfully uploaded and the reimbursement request has been processed and approved, the specified amount will be sent to the student's bank account.
Documentation
It is important that students either keep the original / physical copies and/or make a scan of the necessary documents as reimbursement cannot be made without proper documentation of expenses. It is worth noting that an online booking confirmation cannot serve as a receipt unless it shows the amount paid. Most airlines will allow customers to download receipts up to 90 days after completed travel, we strongly recommend downloading and saving receipts as soon as possible.
