1.Why
Study in NORWAY?: Norway has 38 state run institutions
of higher education and a number of private institutions.
The Norwegian institutions of higher education can
be divided into two sectors: the University sector
and the College sector. The universities carry out
research and offer university-level instruction
at undergraduate, graduate and doctorate levels,
leading to academic degrees. They provide research-based
education, which combines scholastic breadth and
high educational standards within a full range of
disciplines. The universities also have special
responsibility for graduate and research training
and for basic research.

Admission procedure: All international applicants
must fulfil the same basic entrance requirements
as Norwegian students. These requirements vary depending
on the country in which the applicant has completed
his or her primary and secondary education. Applicants
must normally have completed upper secondary education.
In addition, there are specific entry requirements
for programmes in certain subjects. In some cases,
non-formal competence or occupational experience
may be included as qualification for entry into
a study programme. Students who apply for graduate
degree studies must satisfy requirements regarding
previous study at university level. A good command
of English is required of all students attending
Norwegian institutions of higher education. International
students who are not native speakers of English
must document their English-language proficiency.
