Student life

Sport, nature experiences and other leisure activities are also part of the student life. Here you will find some information to enjoy your time at the University of Stavanger.

Nature life

There is much to discover for the nature lover. From beaches to high mountains – the Stavanger region is rich in nature and you can get fantastic experiences not far from where you live. Miles of beaches and their waves attract artists as well as swimmers and surfers, even from abroad. You can take a boat trip to the mysterious fjords which are located just outside the Stavanger peninsula. The famous Norwegian fjords are always a top destination for travelers. From Stavanger, you have easy access to the Lysefjord, which is famous for the spectacular Pulpit Rock and the Kjerag. Or maybe you want to take a drive to the varied top class ski terrain and slopes?

You can find more information at Region Stavanger and at the Norwegian Trekking Association in Stavanger.
