Location
Located in Tromsø, 200 miles north of the Arctic Circle, UiT is located on an urban island surrounded by nature. Surrounded by mountains and fjords on all sides, Tromsø is home to approximately 75,000 inhabitants, making it the second-most populated city north of the Arctic Circle. With everything a person could “need”—shopping malls, festivals, marathons, cultural venues, tourist attractions and a few movie theaters — Tromsø feels more like a small metropolitan city than a town.
