 ENGLISH LANGUAGE DOCUMENTATION

Students that are citizens in other countries than native english speaking countries, Sweden or Denmark, must
submit a valid english-test/proof of sufficient english skills in order to be accepted as a student in the BirdID National subjects and BirdID Western Palearctic subjects. The general basis for admission to universities and university colleges in Norway is called Higher Education Entrance Qualification. For applicants with foreign education, the requirements for english skills are specified in the GSU-list.

Many students already fulfill the english demand without knowing it, so it is worth to check the english requirements for your country thoroughly.
