Description : Groningen is a vibrant student city. Its population has the lowest average age in the Netherlands; one in four inhabitants is a student. Students can be seen everywhere: studying in the Noorderplantsoen park, enjoying the nightlife and working various part-time jobs. Groningen is also a safe and green city to live in, with the quiet countryside a short bike-ride away. The University of Groningen is a highly regarded public research institution with a wide variety of courses in English and a good student support system. The exchange is facilitated by the Faculty of Spatial Sciences at the University of Groningen, so - alongside their major courses - all exchange students take a portion of their courses in spatial sciences, including a collaborative and interactive "Spatial Problems and Spatial Policies (SPSP)" course surveying urban planning in the Netherlands.

Description : Norway, "The World's Happiest Country," is a wonderful location for nature lovers. Mountains, glaciers, forests, and coastal fjords make Norway a beautiful country to explore. In addition to its natural wonders Norway boasts many urban centers and historic sites that share its Viking past. Students who only speak English will find Norway a comfortable destination where they can easily communicate with locals and navigate daily life. Kristiansand is a medium sized city along the southern tip of Norway. It is a beautiful city set among the Norwegian fjords with a robust cultural and social scene, and is particularly well known for being family oriented. The University of Agder (or UiA) is a longstanding partner of UNO, offering semester exchanges, the European Integration Summer School for graduate students, and online programming in collaboration with the College of Information Science and Technology.

Description : Yeungnam University (YU) is UNO’s University Partnership in South Korea. YU is located in Gyeongsan, neighboring the metropolitan city of Daegu and just two hours by train from South Korea’s capital, Seoul. YU offers a large number of courses in English, beginning Korean language classes, a thriving international student population, and is one of the most affordable exchange programs. UNO students have the opportunity to be an English conversation tutor for 4 hours per week in the Language Partner Program at YU, and receive a monthly stipend for their time. This is a wonderful way for students to help cover their expenses while in Korea and to meet local students. Internships are another hands on experience YU can support, and they are able to help qualified exchange students obtain a local internship. As of the 2020/2021 academic year, 41 UNO students have studied at YU and 27 YU students have studied at UNO.

Description : The University of Fribourg is inextricably part of the city of Fribourg, a primarily French-speaking medieval city and student city. German is also widely spoken in Fribourg, making it a truly bilingual place to live. It is also a comparatively inexpensive Swiss city. UNO students get to know Switzerland's unique history, from its historical 'neutral' status to the United Nations office in Geneva to it’s natural beauty, from Lake Maggiore to Dufourspitze, the highest peak in the Swiss alps. Students can spend a semester or year on exchange in Switzerland studying in either German or French at the University of Fribourg. The relationship between UNO’s English Department and University of Fribourg’s English Department is strong, and those studying linguistics and English literature can take numerous interesting courses at Fribourg.

Just 90 minutes by direct train from the center of London, Portsmouth is also within easy reach of Heathrow, Gatwick and Southampton Airports. As a busy ferry port, it is a gateway to the continent with regular sailings to France and Spain. UNO students study political science and international studies at the University of Portsmouth alongside both local and foreign students, as some of the university's 4000+ international students. The University of Portsmouth is ranked in the top 2% of universities in the world and reports high student satisfaction. The relationship between UNO and the University of Portsmouth is tied to UNO’s Political Science Department and UP’s School of Area Studies, History, Politics, and Literature.
