UKEN
DEAR FELLOW STUDENT! Congratulations! You are on the right track. This can be your first step towards the funniest and most challenging thing you can spend your time at NHHS – UKEN!
UKEN is by far the largest sub-committee at NHH and ultimately consists of around 1,000 members, fUKENtionaries, from both NHH and other study centers in Bergen. This helps make UKEN Norway’s second largest student festival. Over the course of 17 days, over 30,000 visitors will stop by NHH to experience what UKEN has to offer. The program has previously consisted of everything from world record attempts and days for children and the elderly, to concerts and revues. The UKErevue has several times won prizes during the national championship in student revue. The UKErevue is rich in tradition with a professional production in the city of Bergen. It is the Board of UKEN that gets to choose exactly what the program for UKEN 24 will be filled with, which records will be broken, what the theme of the UKErevy 24 will be and who will be on the many stages for UKEN. If you join UKEN’s family, I can promise you many new acquaintances and lifelong memories. Proof of this is all the former members of UKEN, fUKENtionaries, who return to every single UKEN; precisely to experience the unique feeling UKEN has given, and still gives them.
Making UKEN 24 is going to be the most fun you’ve ever done in your entire life!
UKEgreetings from the Board of UKEN 22
Head of UKEN
As Head of UKEN you have two tasks:
1: Enjoy yourself most of all during UKEN.
2: Take responsibility when things go badly and hand out praise when everything goes well.
If you think you can manage these two things, there should be no doubt, then you are running for Head of UKEN!
As Head of UKEN, you will manage the largest sub-committee at NHH. Together with 1,000 other fUKENtionaries, you will create a festival with 30,000 visitors and a double-digit number of millions in turnover.

You’ll never work harder, you’ll never have so much anxiety, and you’ll never do a job so worthwhile!
Head of Revue
The first UKErevue was set up in Bergen as early as 1946. In other words, as Head of Revue, you manage nothing less than an old cultural heritage!
As Head of Revue for UKEN, you are responsible for a section of 70-90 members, who often have in common that they have special expertise in sound, lighting, music, costume design, dance or the like. This makes the role somewhat unique, as you like to lead a group of people who know much more than you in their field, and humility is a healthy entry into the position. The revision section is often also a group that puts in an unimaginable number of hours in the auditorium, and then it is important to be able to motivate!
You choose whether you are more or less involved in the creative process, but you are responsible for the organizational implementation of the revue process. The unity that is created in the revue section in the hall at NHH is something very special!
Head of PR
Do you want to ensure that UKEN 24 becomes the most visited UKEN ever? Then you should apply as Head of PR!
The Head of PR must ensure that everyone is aware that it is THE UKEN. The school and the city of Bergen must be painted green, and the joy of UKEN must be distributed to everyone; as it has been done since the 80s. Whether through social media, campaigns, ticket releases, stunts or other crazy inventions, everyone must understand that UKEN 24 will be the highlight of the year!
As Head of PR, you will be responsible for all of UKEN’s external communications. Therefore, you have to be both structured and a bit creative. If you like to please others, and feel a tingling in your stomach when you hear the word “sold out”, there is only one thing to do:
APPLY FOR HEAD OF PR!
Head of Finance
“You can learn economics in London, Copenhagen and even BI, but it is only at NHH that you get to try it out in practice” once said a wise UKEpamp.

Head of Sales
Imagine being the manager of Bergen’s largest pub! That’s because you are the Head of Sales at UKEN.
Not only that, you are also the leader of UKEN’s largest section, which in UKEN 22 numbered well over 400 fUKENtionaries. You manage all of UKEN’s bar operations, food sales, logistics, as well as security and security. In addition, you work with supplier agreements for food and beverages, for example what kind of wine should UKEvinen 24 be?
Your section provides the party in the auditorium and in the basement during UKEN, and what a party it is! During UKEN 22, over 40,000 pints were consumed, cheers!
