UArctic is an international non-governmental organization dedicated to
higher education in and about the circumpolar north. UArctic is a
decentralized "university without walls" committed to higher education
and research, building local and regional educational capacity, and
stimulating cooperation among participating institutions.
The field courses affiliated with the University of the Arctic are
organized under the umbrella of a UArctic Field School. To promote
cooperation between courses and foster circumpolar exchange, the UArctic
Field School provides an organizational hub for individual field
courses, including streamlining application procedures, engaging in
cooperative activities, developing common funding approaches, providing
assistance in identifying students, and creating broader student
networking between courses. Most field courses exist independently
before becoming affiliated with UArctic.
Courses to be included in the list should have a significant field
component. Generally, the courses last from two to five weeks. Courses
to be included in the UArctic Field School catalogue
(http://www.uarctic.org/field_school) must adhere to the general
principles of the University of the Arctic (http://www.uarctic.org/).
If you would like to have your northern field course included in the
catalogue, please send course information to:
