Recognition of previous education
There are several ways to apply for recognition of previous education, depending on how you plan to use the education.
Specific recognition as part of a degree at UiO
If you have education from UiO or another institution, you can apply for recognition of this education as part of your degree at UiO. Both Norwegian and foreign education may be recognized. Contact the faculty for more information about recognition of previous education.
General recognition of foreign education
General recognition of foreign education confirms that the education is taken at an accredited institution of higher education in the country of education. NOKUT provides general recognition of foreign education. Contact NOKUT for more information about general recognition.
Subject specific recognition of foreign education
Subject specific recognition of foreign education means that the education is compared to specific degrees or educations in Norway. At UiO, the faculty offering a subject area processes applications for subject specific recognition within that subject area. Contact the faculty for more information about subject specific recognition.
Pre-approval of study abroad periods
If you are applying to take part of a study programme abroad, you need a pre-approval of the foreign education. Read more about taking parts of study programmes abroad (in Norwegian).
Admission to the university
If you are applying for admission to study programmes on basis of foreign education, the foreign education will be considered when processing the application for admission. At UiO you can find more information about admission requirements and application methods on the individual programme's web page.
