Fill in the application form. Remember to attach diplomas/transcripts from schools you have attended, in these we are looking for something that shows your English language skills.
We will review your application. We start admitting students 15th of November for the school year starting next August, and continue admission as long as we have vacancies.
We do not have a deadline for applications, we admit students as long as we have vacancies. However, if you need a visa, your visa application should be completed by 1 July.

Students from the rest of the world:
You accept our offer by paying the full school fees . Students who live outside of school premises also have to deposit an amount for subsistence in our bank account.
We will send you a letter confirming your payment, room/board, and more. Please note that if you are living outside of school premises, you will need a confirmation of a place to live (a lease from your landlord or a confirmation from the people you are living with) for your visa application.
Apply for a student residence permit at the application portal at www.udi.no. Here you can find a checklist for what you need for the application.
