Admission Process


Applying to university can be both exciting and stressful, something to fear and look forward to. The application procedure might seem time-consuming; there is a lot to think about, many steps to complete, and various forms to fill out. Therefore you will find some more information explaining our admission process below.

Please read the information carefully and remember that:
• During the application process your SPAM filter (preventing bulk or junk e-mail) should be set on the lowest level as we send out many of the notifications to more than one applicant.
• Please send all your questions to our common e-mail address: admissions@uis.no and do not resend your e-mail to other addresses as it is both time consuming and confusing for everybody.
• We admit students only once a year, in Autumn. The electronic application forms are opened between September and November.

We wish you good luck with your application!
