How to apply for a Bachelor's degree programme for international applicants
All Bachelor programmes at the University of Oslo are taught in Norwegian. Selected programmes are offered to international applicants.
Admitted students must successfully complete a Norwegian language course that lasts up to one year before they can start the Bachelor's degree programme.
Note that an application to a Bachelor's degree programme is also an application to the mandatory Norwegian course.
Please note: If you are residing in Norway or have a valid Norwegian language test, you should apply to Samordna opptak (NUCAS). See information for applicants residing in Norway.

- Special admission requirements for some Bachelor’s degree programmes.
- English proficiency requirement for Bachelor’s degree admissions.
