Academic Life
 
Studying in Norway
 

The academic year normally runs from mid-August to mid-June. Courses are measured in “studiepoeng” according to the ECTS standard (European Credit Transfer System credits). The full-time workload for one academic year is 60 “studiepoeng”/ECTS credits.

Grades for undergraduate and postgraduate examinations are awarded according to a graded scale from A (highest) to F (lowest), with E as the minimum pass grade. A pass/fail mark is given for some examinations.

 
Testimonial from students
 

"Studying at University of Oslo was interesting and I made a lot of other international friends there. They have many Special Events just for international students. In addition, since the courses that we took were mostly taught in English, we made many friends of different cultures and background.

During my SEP time, I barely had time to be home-sick! I believe I have gained independence in much ways especially in terms of taking care of myself and it is truly an eye-opener to interact with people from all over the world and experience their culture."
