There are some differences in the conditions and requirements for Norwegian universities to recruit foreign students, but the basic conditions and requirements are basically the same.

First, academic requirements

According to the educational system and academic system of different countries, Norway has set more detailed standards for the admission conditions of foreign students, and the academic requirements for foreign students applying for admission are also different. But the usual admission conditions include education, study plan, English (or Norwegian) level, proof of funds and so on.

Undergraduate course: Norwegian institutions of higher learning accept undergraduate students, and the academic qualifications of applicants are required to graduate from high school to the first year of university, or even two years of university. In view of the fact that China students have a college education for more than one year, they can graduate from junior college.

Postgraduates: Some master's courses in Norwegian institutions of higher learning are taught in English, mainly to provide education for international students who enjoy scholarships from Norwegian research and development institutions in Eastern European countries and developing countries, or who come to Norway through exchange programs and quota programs, and also accept a small number of self-funded international students. Some exchange students can take master's courses, but they can't get master's degrees.

Doctoral degree: Foreign students applying for doctoral degree in Norway should have the same conditions as Norwegian applicants. However, only a master's degree does not necessarily guarantee that an applicant can be admitted. Because there is great competition for doctoral admission, applicants should contact their interested departments before applying.

Second, language requirements.

Due to the continuous expansion of exchange programs, almost all universities in Norway have participated in some exchange programs. Therefore, Norwegian universities adopt the model of British education system, and more and more majors are taught in English. Nevertheless, Norwegian is the official teaching language of Norwegian universities, and almost all undergraduate majors are taught in Norwegian. Foreign students who apply for degree courses taught in Norwegian should have a good foundation in Norwegian.

English language requirements:

TOEFL: 500 (undergraduate) and 550 (computer test 170) or above; (graduate student)

IELTS: 5 to 5 .5 or above.
