UiT university is actually a good choice for those who want to become a smart and comprehensive engineer. University has a lot of facilities that helps student to take lessons in all kind way. UiT offers variety of different types of study room, pretty well equipped with a lot of techinque.

Why UiT?
Anonymous rated 4 out of 5 stars

This is a nice university to pursue the master degree for international students with arctic experiences. One aspect that didn't worked here is, I had no scholarships and I hardly managed my living costs as the country is highly expensive.
