In 2017, the School of Philosophy of Fudan University formally signed a five-year cooperation agreement with the School of Theology of the University of Oslo, Norway. According to the terms of the Agreement, the two parties should annually send 1-2 qualified undergraduates or graduates(who are required to finish one academic year in home university, have good academic performance and offer necessary proof of language ability) to each other for an exchange which lasts for 1 semester or 2. The host university won’t charge the selected participants of any tuition fee, and promises to provide them with enrollment direction and will help them to find suitable accommodation near the campus. After the end of the exchange period, participants will receive transcripts in English version from the host university as the proof of their academic completion. The agreement will also promote cooperation between the two parties in academy and culture, and activate teacher exchanges as well.
The University of Oslo, located in Oslo, the capital of Norway, is the Alma Mater of many Nobel laureates, politicians, scientists and litterateurs. The School of Theology of The University of Oslo, with eight research groups, is one of the oldest and most prestigious theological schools in Europe, and is well commented by students for its diverse learning resources and international cultural environment. The two parties have a long tradition of cooperation: as early as 1995, Fudan University and the University of Oslo and several other famous Nordic universities has established the Nordic center, which had greatly improved the exchange and cooperation between Chinese and Nordic universities. The school of philosophy of Fudan University hopes to further promote the long existed collaboration with the University of Oslo through this program, so as to provide students who are interested in religions study with more learning resources and educational opportunities.
