If the programme that you apply to has more qualified applicants than we can accept into the study programme, applicants are ranked based on their grades.
Applicants to undergraduate / bachelor’s programmes
We follow the guidelines set by the Norwegian Universities and Colleges Admission Service (Samordna opptak). The guidelines are as follows:
Your results from secondary school / high school form the basis of your application and we use your average grade when ranking your application. You can get up to 60 points for your average grade. You can also get up to 4 points from foreign languages, mathematics or natural sciences that you have studied in secondary school. The subjects must be recognized as equivalent to Norwegian subjects. You can not get points for English or Scandinavian languages.
You can get up to 2 points for higher education. 30 ECTS (half a year of full-time studies) gives 1 point and 60 ECTS (1 year of full-time studies) or more gives 2 points. Depending on your secondary/high school education, you might need higher education in addition to your secondary/high school education to qualify for university in Norway. If that is the case for you, you can not get points for higher education that forms the basis of your application, but you can get points for higher education that you have taken in addition to the minimum requirement. Please check if you need higher education to qualify in
the GSU-list.
You can get up to 8 points for age if you are 20 or older or turn 20 the year you apply for admission. You get 2 points per year but no more than 8 points. Please see the table below for admission for 2023/2024:

Applicants to graduate / master’s programmes
Your undergraduate / bachelor’s degree forms the basis of your application and we will use your grades when ranking your application. Applicants to master’s programmes do not get additional points for other activities, unless otherwise noted on the study programme’s page. Please note that some programmes still require a motivation letter. Please see the admission requirements for each programme for more information.
