For BIO, teaching is one of our core activities. Facilitating students’ completion of their planned studies in the best possible way is a significant part of our social mission. It’s about more than numbers and finances—it’s about creating a learning environment where each student feels a sense of belonging and community, which fosters the best possible conditions for academic exploration and development.

Head of department Ståle joins the BIO325 cruise in Masfjorden
On Monday 7 October I was able to take part in a trip with G.O.Sars, together with Katja, Frank and Heikki who had students from BIO325 (Marine Science) on board.
It was a great honor for me to get an insight into how the teaching cruises at BIO are carried out.
