For more than 20 years, Norway has provided support for students from developing countries and in 1994 this support was converted into the Quota Programme. You can apply as an individual student, but applications from students at universities that have a formal agreement with our university are encouraged. Women from developing countries are especially encouraged to apply for the programme. Students are expected to apply from their home country. The Quota Programme aims at offering English taught Master s degrees, 2-year M.Phil. or M.Sc. degrees, and also offers funding to doctoral programme students, normally one year at Master s degree level and 3 years at Doctoral degree level.
Admission is limited and therefore very competitive.
Only applicants from countries on the list of countries eligible for Quota Programme funding will be considered. The Norwegian universities M.Phil. For Master s programmes, the minimum requirement is that you have passed a Bachelor degree of at least 3 years at university level, all years being beyond the basic entrance requirements. For Doctoral programmes, additional faculty requirements also apply, but applicants must have a minimum of 5 years of university studies in their chosen subject. Applicants must have university studies within the subject area of the programme to which they are applying.
