Studentombud

The student ombudsman is an independent assistance person whose task is to provide students with advice and assistance in matters related to the study situation.

The Student Ombudsman’s most important function is to provide advice on rights and obligations in student matters to students and staff. The student ombudsman is not a party representative and does not make decisions in individual cases.

All contact with the student ombudsman is subject to a duty of confidentiality and inquiries from students and staff are treated confidentially upon receipt. BAS has entered into a collaboration with UiB and NHH on a joint student ombudsman.
