Education (master's two years)

Start of studies for Master in Education fall semester 2023

Welcome all new students to the Department of Education (IPED)!

We are looking forward to welcoming you as a student to the Master's degree program in Education (MIE) at the University of Oslo (UiO). This website provides you with useful information about being a new master student. 

Start-up for master students 

The Department of Education will organize a mandatory welcome seminar on August 16th from 09.00-15.00 for all new master students, including both international and Norwegian master programs. Also, we hope you can join us for a social gathering afterwards, from 15.00-22.00, where we will serve food. At the seminar, you will receive important information about the program and what it's like to be a new master student at IPED. The seminar will be conducted in English and will have both social and academic activities. If you are unable to attend the seminar, your absence must be approved by the study administration. In such a case, please contact us via e-mail.
