Norwegian Language Courses

Evening Courses in Norwegian
These courses are open to full time students who are studying other subjects, for example full time students at Master’s degree programmes, exchange students or guest students. Employees at the University of Tromsø and, if capacity, their families, may also attend the evening courses.

The courses normally run every semester and give no credits. The courses are offered at introductory, intermediate and advanced levels (level 1 - 2 - 3), depending on funding and number of students. Each course lasts 12 weeks with 4 hours of instruction per week. Classes will take place late afternoons and evenings, and they will start shortly after the beginning of every semester.

Students apply for courses after arriving in Tromsø.
