There is currently an exchange program in place. It allows for sending up to four students for one semester each year. It is beginning to get utilized from both UiO and NUS.
Students in Oslo normally take three courses each semester for a total of 30 points. Students in NUS normally take five courses for a total of 20 modular credits.
Most departments in Oslo are willing to get courses in English if requested, except for first year courses. There is also a number of courses that are always taught in English.
We recommend that students from Singapore go in Semester 6. We recommend that they take two of the following math modules (all taught in English).
If you go in Semester 5 or 7, you may consider the following modules.
For general information about the math major in Oslo, see Matematikk, informatikk og teknologi (in Norwegian).
For comments about the courses in Oslo, please see Comments about courses at the UiO.
We recommend that mathematics students from Oslo go in Semester 5.
Other mathematics courses they may consider taking.
Students who go in their fourth semester can take the following courses.
For students who go in their fifth semester the following mappings have been approved by NUS.
| UiO modules | NUS Module |
| BIO4220 Natural Selection and Adaptive Evolution | LSM3252 Evolution and Comparative Genomics |
| MBV3060 General microbiology | LSM3232 Microbiology |
| MBV4310 Comparative and ecological physiology | LSM3262 Comparative Animal Physiology |
| BIO4200 Molecular Evolution | LSM3252 Evolution and Comparative Genomics |
| BIO4500 General toxicology | LSM3991 Exchange Enrichment Module |
| BIO4210 Classification and Phylogeny | LSM3991 Exchange Enrichment Module |
The following mappings have been approved by NUS.
| UiO modules | NUS Modules |
| FYS4130 Statistical mechanics | PC4241 Statistical Mechanics |
| FYS4560 Elementary particle physics | PC4245 Particle Physics |
| UNIK4150 Antennas and radiowave propagation | PC4262 Remote Sensing |
| FYS4160 The general theory of relativity | PC4248 Relativity |
| FYS3140 Mathematical methods in physics | PC3274 Mathematical Methods II |
| FYS3410 Condensed matter physics | PC3235 Solid State Physics I |
| INF-MAT3360 Partial differential equations | MA4221 PDE |
| INF-MAT3370 Linear optimization | MA2215 Linear Optimization |
| MAT1300 Analysis I | MA2108 Real Analysis |
NUS has a program of General Education. Many of these modules are suitable for exchange students.
The following modules are all taught in English and may be mapped to a "dummy module". You can also consult the list of courses offered in English. Please bear in mind that other than the NORINT courses and Examen philosophicum, these are not general courses, but courses aimed a majors in the various subjects. So I strongly recommend taking one of the two NORINT courses or Examen philosophicum unless you have a strong interest in the subject.
