The final exams are assessed by internal examiners.

Target Group

The target group of the course is international exchange students who are admitted to the study programmes at OsloMet for the current term.

Admission

International exchange students, who are admitted to the study programmes at Oslo Metropolitan University (OsloMet) for the current term, will be given priority over other applicants. Other categories of international students who currently follow study programmes at OsloMet, may be admitted to the course provided that there will be available places. Trainees through the ‘Akademisk dugnad’ at OsloMet must be approved by the Section for Internationalisation and must meet the general admission requirements for Higher Education Entrance Qualification.

Admission to the intermediate course requires a passing grade from the beginner’s level course or A1- level language competencies in Norwegian. When applying for admission to the intermediate course, such competencies must be affirmed either by a diploma/course certificate from an A1-level language course or through an interview with the academic coordinator. On the basis of this interview students can either be granted admission to the intermediate course or denied such admission. Applicants who wish to be evaluated on basis of an interview have to contact the academic coordinator within the application deadline. The result of the interview cannot be appealed.

The following categories will not be able to apply for the course:

• Applicants with equivalent or higher language competence
• Other categories of applicants, who are not international students at OsloMet
• Students with ordinary admission to OsloMet
