Instructions for studying abroad

If you want to study in Norwegian English, you can choose from more than 200 English-taught master's courses and many English-taught undergraduate courses. For example, the English courses offered by Oslo University include humanities, social sciences, law, theology, mathematics and natural sciences, education, medicine, dentistry, energy, development, gender studies and "academic Norwegian", and these courses do not require Norwegian knowledge.
Second, apply for universities in Norway
Applying to a university in Norway is quite simple. To get a degree, you must obtain an admission certificate from an ordinary university and finish high school. International students can find out whether their foreign qualifications are recognized through the GSU list of a specific country.
You can apply for universities in Norway through the 23/5 rule-you must be at least 23 years old, have five years of comprehensive education and work experience, and have passed several key subjects (namely Norwegian, mathematics, natural science, English and sociology). Some degrees may also require qualifications for specific subjects, depending on the degree program (such as engineering mathematics and physics). Please remember that every course and every university has its own specific enrollment requirements.
When applying for English teaching courses, you need to apply directly to each of your target institutions. Usually fill out an application form, which can usually be obtained or obtained on the website of the organization. Undergraduate courses taught in Norwegian can be applied using the Norwegian University and College Admissions Service (NUCAS).
Three. Information on the cost of studying in Norway
Public education in Norway is free for both local and international students, and the Norwegian Ministry of Education and Research is responsible for bearing the costs and providing general education. You may have to pay a small fee, usually around 240,000 RMB. The term fee allows you to become a member of the student welfare organization, get the right to use health services, consultation and sports facilities, and get a formal student ID card. The student ID card allows you to enjoy the lower fares of public transportation and cultural activities, which represents your examination qualification. Private universities in Norway do charge tuition fees, just like public universities charge tuition fees for some professional courses, usually for postgraduate courses.
Please remember that the cost of living in Norway is much higher than that in many other countries. You need to pay for housing, books, food and travel. If financial aid is needed, Norwegian universities also have various scholarships, grants and student loans for local and international students. Be sure to confirm whether the funds for studying in Norway can also be obtained from your home country, so as to ensure that you know all the options that apply to you.
When studying in Norway, students from outside the European Union need a work permit, and submit a statement to the school that the work will not affect their studies, as well as a confirmation letter from the employer for your work. Students from the European Union do not need a work permit, because the work permit will be issued together with the residence permit. In both cases, students are allowed to work 20 hours a week during the semester and full-time at the end of the semester.
Four. Health care in Norway
Students from other Nordic countries who wish to study in Norway have the right to use the Norwegian National Insurance Scheme if they have registered in the Norwegian National Population Registry. If you are not a student from Nordic countries, according to the national insurance law, you are still eligible for Norwegian medical insurance, and you do not need a European health insurance card.
Students from EEA countries and Switzerland should apply for a free European Health Insurance Card (EHIC) from their countries of origin. If you are not eligible to apply for this card, you need to buy a private medical insurance.
According to the national insurance plan, students from outside the European Economic Area are also eligible for medical insurance in Norway. If your course is more than one year, you should register automatically; If your course is between 3 and 12 months, you need to apply for membership through your local insurance company. If you are not a member of the national insurance plan, you must have social insurance or other effective health insurance in your country. If in doubt, please seek guidance from the school student support service center. In addition, don't forget that your student ID card may entitle you to get free medical care from the school's student health service.
