Former students

Alise Erichsen

I wanted to learn how to sew my own clothes, but I found it difficult to do on my own. That changed when I started at StUF. With the guidance of a skilled and inspiring teacher, I gained the skills I needed to enjoy sewing and make practic use of it.

Carla Røhnebæk-Rydjord

The best part of the program is the strong bond we build by facing challenges together, supporting one another, and growing stronger as a team. We surf some of Norway's most beautiful beaches and experience things I never would have done otherwise.

Elizabeth Shannon

I always wanted the opportunity to travel and learn another language. Norwegian Language & Culture allowed me to immerse myself in a new culture and meet people from all over the world!

Even Angelo Aarek

I had an amazing year at StUF, combining the Retake Subjects program with Programming. I really appreciated the structure, the welcoming community, and the fun electives. I learned so much and finished the year feeling like a better version of myself

Maria Weeks

The best thing about the Architecture program is the chance to work both creatively and hands-on. I get to make each project my own while having my ideas challenged, helping me grow and develop my architectural skills.

Anna Wimmer Sandnæs

When I started, I was a complete beginner. My year in the Programming program was both fun and exciting. It gave me valuable skills and experience that I know I'll carry with me into the future.
