Norwegian Language Courses
The University of Bergen offers Norwegian Language Courses to non-native speakers of Norwegian.
Admission to Norwegian courses is on the basis of ranking within three different categories:
- Employees of the University of Bergen and spouses
- University of Bergen degree students and agreement and programme students
- Refugees and immigrants with a permanent residence permit
Admission to our Norwegian courses is not a sufficient basis for a student resident permit in Norway and for financial support from the Norwegian State Educational Loan Fund (Lånekassen). See regulations §4-6 e
The teaching language is Norwegian bokmål.
Please note: The University of Bergen reserves the right to cancel any course if financial means are not available and if we do not receive a sufficient number of qualified applicants to each course.
