Study admissions
These regulations are for Norwegian and Nordic students only.
How do you apply?
Admission to academic programmes starting in the Autumn semester are organised through the Universities and Colleges Admission Service (UCAS). Applicants must fill out the application form. You can get the application forms and advice on filling them out by enquiring at a high school, library, employment agency or higher education institution in your area. You can also apply on line for academic options included in the UCAS.
For admission to continuing and further education programmes, Master's level programmes, teacher education and singular courses that start in either the Autumn or Spring semesters, you apply directly to the University of Tromsø (local admission). To receive this form, you can either inquire at the Student Information Office or download the form on the Internet. Send your completed application form to the Admission Office.
You can also apply on line for Master's level programmes and singular courses.
