Students must have some knowledge of Norwegian before arrival. Much of the compulsory course literature is however in English. A good command of English is therefore also essential for participation in the study program. Credit transfer ECTS students are assured maximum recognition of their study for the examinations and study hours they complete at the University of Oslo through the respective co-operation agreements. Students who wish to secure full recognition for these courses at their home university, must carefully follow the study plan outlined in the co-operation agreement.
Residence permits A visa is required for entry into Norway for citizens from a number of countries.
Should one wish to expand the time of stay out over the three-month period, one must apply. Grants are usually given liberally. Students can contact the Norwegian Embassy or Consulate for more information on this or alternatively contact The Department of International Relations, University of Oslo.
