 Welcome to the University of Agdeur. The Student Welfare Organization, CEA, offers a wide range of services, activities and benefits for the students. We are a great contributor to the campus life in both Christian Sun and Grimstad. We run the cafeterias, which are a natural meeting place for students and employees. East CEA and Blue Box are two student pubs with many different events, such as concerts, lectures and quiz nights. CEA also offers affordable housing close to the city centres and campuses. In our housing you will both feel safe and welcome. Our gym in Christian Sun is situated close to campus and gives you everything you need to get into shape while having a great time. All students that we are can apply for economic support for medical treatment. Furthermore, if you ever feel the need to speak with someone about issues related to mental health, the staff of CEA Helsa is here for you. For those who have small children, we also run kindergartens situated near to both campuses. We are looking forward to meeting you and make your stay as enjoyable as possible. The Student Organization of Agdeur is an interest organisation for all the students at UI. Every student is automatically a member at Stahl. We are an umbrella organisation for around 60 different student activities and societies where you can engage in something that you are interested in. This can be anything from sports, politics, music, outdoor activities and so much more. We are also here to ensure that the student voice is being heard on every level. We have students in different boards and committees that work with the university staff to make the university even better. With our activities, formal boards and committees, I am sure that you will find something to engage them. And if not, there is always an opportunity to establish your own activity. Just contact us in Stahl and we will help you. Leile! The Erasmus Student Network, or ESM for short, is Europe's biggest student organisation. Our motto is unity and diversity and we work to make the University of Agdeur more inclusive for international students. Through our mentorship programme, we work to provide students with an arena where Norwegian and international students can meet and learn from each other and to help you as an international student during your time in Norway. But ESM is not just for the freshest international students. It's also a great opportunity for Norwegians to meet people from all around the world, polish your language skills, exchange culture and maybe even join us as a volunteer. We host events all throughout the year, some of which are hikes, ski trips, barbecues, waffle meetings and other cultural events. Check out our web page and our Facebook page for more information about upcoming events and opportunities. The International Education Office coordinates student exchange and welcomes international students. The University of Agdeur has partnered universities all over the world and we seek to be an open and inclusive university which encourages our students and employees to develop their global mindset. The Global Lounge is a meeting place where everyone can participate in various activities such as language cafes, board game evenings, country meetings and various other activities. So come by Global Lounge, we look forward to seeing you here.
