Required specialization
Bachelor's degree
You must have a bachelor’s degree comparable to a Norwegian bachelor’s degree.
Required specialization and minimum grade requirement
You must have a minimum grade average comparable to a Norwegian C in the required specialization. A Norwegian C is described as a good grade, generally comparable to an American B and a Second Class Upper in the British system. We do not use conversion tables for foreign grades. All foreign education is individually evaluated during the admission process.
Please note that eligible applicants who fulfill the minimum grade requirement will compete for a study place. Please see the section on ranking for more information on selection criteria.
Required specialization:
- A specialization of at least 80 ECTS credits in English, equivalent in level to the credits required in the bachelor's degree in English at the University of Oslo.
- A minimum of 20 ECTS credits in English at the 2000 level - of which 10 ECTS credits must be in English Language - must either be a part of your specialization or come in addition.
Courses counted in the admissions requirement must be at a theoretical level equal to the CEFR level B2 or higher. Basic English, or practical courses such as, but not limited to, business English, translation or creative writing, will normally not be counted towards the required 80 ECTS.
Students that have English, intermediate subject (mellomfag), with a minimum grade of 2,7 in the old Norwegian grading scale, are also qualified to apply.
