The course is designed for full-time students, in other words: the students have to be prepared to study intensively and continuously additional to the lectures given at the University College. The examination at the end of the course (level 3) corresponds to the Norwegian Language Test, also called Bergenstesten, which is the minimum requirement for attending further studies taught in Norwegian at university level in Norway.
