Apply to the partner university

Once you have been nominated as an exchange student from UiO, you will still have to apply directly to the partner university in order to finalise your application. The partner university will review your application and issue an offer if you are accepted. 

How to apply

You will receive information from your contact person at UiO about how to apply to the partner university. Please be aware that application deadlines vary.

You are often asked to upload your most recent ToR as part of the application.

  • Order an electronic ToR with your results from UiO in Studentweb.
  • Order a ToR with results from other Norwegian higher education institutions from Vitnem?lsportalen.
