The legislation on export control is intended to help prevent the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction and their means of delivery. At UiT, this affects the assessment of applications for admission to certain master's degree programmes, as well as certain singular courses on master's and PhD level.
Export controls are applied to countries where there is a justified suspicion or specific information about activities relating to the development and use of weapons of mass destruction. The legislation covers the transfer of knowledge. The purpose is to prevent educational institutions from inadvertently contributing knowledge to the development or use of weapons of mass destruction or delivery systems for such weapons.
UiT may deny admission in disciplines that are particularly relevant to the development and use of weapons of mass destruction, in accordance with Norway's Export Control Act and Export Control Regulations.
