If you are currently a student at one of our partner institutions and would like to apply as an exchange student, please contact your home institution for information about the application procedures.
Bachelor's Degree programmes taught in Norwegian
If you would like to apply for a Bachelor's Degree taught in Norwegian, you have to meet the minimum requirements for entrance into Norwegian higher education. These minimum requirements have been specified by The Norwegian Agency for Quality Assurance in Education (NOKUT) and are listed under each country in the GSU-list.
Among the minimum requirements we would like to draw your attention to the requirements concerning proficiency in Norwegian and English, also specified by NOKUT.
Please note that admission to some study programmes, may require knowledge of specific subjects in addition to the general requirements.

The requirements for proficiency in English and Norwegian as refered to above, also apply to these programmes unless otherwise stated in the prerequisites of that particular programme. The Norwegian language requirements do not apply to programmes taught in English.
