Application

Can I apply if I am in the second year of my main Master's programme?

No. The EHS runs parallel with your main Master's programme, and thus you need to apply in your first or second semester (depending on whether you started your studies in the fall or spring semester). Please see the admission page for specified information about time of application.

Can I apply if I am a student in a 5 year integrated Master's programme or a programme of professional study at the University of Oslo?

Yes. But there are restrictions related to when in the course of study you can apply. Please see the admission page for specified information about time of application.

Can I apply if I am a master's student at another higher education institution than the University of Oslo?

No. The EHS is only open to students admitted to a Master's programme, 5 year integrated Master's programme or programme of professional study at the University of Oslo.

Can I apply if I am finished with my Master's degree?

No. The EHS is only open to students currently admitted to a Master's programme, 5 year integrated Master's programme or programme of professional study at the University of Oslo.

Can students from all backgrounds apply?

Where do I apply?

You apply for admission via the application portal S?knadsweb. When the application protal is open, you will find a link to S?knadsweb on the admission-page.

Study abroad

Can I follow the teaching if I am going abroad for one semester in my main Master's programme?

While you can follow the course(s) for a semester while abroad, it is strongly encouraged to be present for at least part of the spring semester in order to get the most out of the EHS4000 Knowing Natures place-based excursions. These excursions provide the methodological and empirical models for EHS research that will inform and inspire the design of your own projects.
