What are my possibilities?
KRUS normally offers two courses taught in English in the spring semester (January-June):
- KRUS3201 Radicalization and Violent Extremism in the Correctional Services (15 ECTS)
- KRUS3206 The Norwegian Penal System: Comparative, Practical Studies (15 ECTS)
The modules are taught part-time, which means there will be three seminars, each lasting three days, over the course of the semester. The dates for the seminars will be announced closer to the beginning of the semester but most modules will end with an exam held in early June. We may allow for students to follow some of the teaching online.
If you stay here for the full spring semester, we may be able to arrange for you to receive supervision on your bachelor’s dissertation from one of our academic staff.
There are no courses taught in English in the autumn semesters at KRUS.
