Register for courses
Once you are admitted to the study program you will be contacted by the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences by email for course registration. Registration for courses assumes that there are available places and that you meet any prerequisite knowledge.
When you apply for the study programme, make sure to note which field of studies you are interested in.
Norwegian courses for international students
As a part of the one-year program, students can choose to attend Norwegian courses for international students offered by the Department of Linguistics and Scandinavian Studies.
In addition, the department offers a Norwegian life and Society course to international students, which gives some insight into Norwegian way of life and Norwegian identity.
Course options for beginners:
- NORINT0110: This is a full level 1 course taught on campus with in-person attendance. Students who passes the exam can register for a level 2 course next semester.
The following courses gives an introduction to Norwegian, but do not qualify for the level 2 course:
- NORINT0105M (Introduction to Norwegian): This is an online self-study course with 4 on-campus seminars before the written exam.
- NORINT0106M (Introduction to Norwegian 2): This is an online self-study course with 4 on-campus seminars that builds up on NORINT0105M course. This course starts after students take their exam in NORINT0105M.
See more information about Norwegian courses and registration deadlines.
If you have any questions regarding Norwegian courses for international students, please contact The Student Information Centre at the Faculty of Humanities.
Student guidance
After admission to the study programme you will be contacted for study guidance to help you choose courses and build your programme.
Please note that courses at bachelor level generally can not be included in a master's degree, and courses at masters level can generally not be includes in a bachelor's degree.
