How to apply for online studies
Here you will find information about how to apply for online studies, admission requirements and which documentation of prior education and work experience you must attach to your application.
See our online studies（https://www4.uib.no/en/studies/online-studies）
How to apply?
You will find an application link on each coursepage, for those courses that are currently open for applications.
This link lead in most cases to our application portal EvuWeb, which demands that you have a Norwegian ID-number and are able to log in.
For online studies that are open for applicants not residing in Norway, and therefore do not have a Norwegian ID-number, the course page will instead contain a link to a manual registration form.
General admission requirements of prior education and/or professional experience are described below. These are also described on each course page. Note that some courses may also have special admission requirements in addition.
Please read these terms of admission thoroughly and ensure that you upload and attach the required documentation when submitting your application.
UiB will not be able to handle your application, if any required documentation is missing.
Admission requirements for courses on Bachelor's level
General admission criteria
Are you below the age of 25? You must upload and attach proof that you have completed upper secondary school with general university admissions certification（https://hkdir.no/en/foreign-education/lists-and-databases/higher-education-entrance-qualification-gsu）.
Are you 25 years or above? As a main rule, you must have general university admissions certification（https://hkdir.no/en/foreign-education/lists-and-databases/higher-education-entrance-qualification-gsu）. If you do not have this, you must have a combination of upper secondary school and work experience, at least 5 years in total. Normally, we do not require any documentation from applicants older than 25, unless it is stated otherwise on the course webpage.
Any additional admission requirements will be stated on the course page.
For courses with a study fee
If you apply for a course with a study fee, you must have a minimum of 2 years full-time work experience, regardless of your age or level of prior education. You are asked to confirm that you fulfil this requirement, when filling out your application. No further documentation is required, unless we request it through random sampling. If you are unable to document the required work experience upon request, you might be expelled from the course.
For courses with no study fee
The Norwegian higher education act requires that students from countries outside the European Economic Area and Switzerland pay the full tuition fee if they wish to be enrolled into a course, even if the course is offered for free for Norwegian applicants and EEA/Switzerland applicants. Since the course fees have not yet been calculated, we will not be able to accept applicants from outside the European Economic Area and Switzerland.
Admission requirements for courses on Master's level
General admission criteria
You must have obtained a bachelor's degree or equivalent (180 ECTS). Find specific requirements for your home country in our country list（https://www4.uib.no/en/studies/online-studies/country-list）.
You must have a minimum of 2 years full-time professional work experience, from fields that are relevant to the course in question. Examples of relevant fields are described on the course page. If you have only part time work experience, this must be converted to be equivalent to full-time, e.g. a 50% position must have at least 4 years duration
If you do not fulfil both criteria described above, we might consider your application if you can attach documents proving that:
