Courses and documents for exchange students

Exchange students at the University of Oslo may take courses across faculties and departments, depending on their academic background.

Courses in English and Norwegian

UiO offers a wide range of courses in English, and a variety of Norwegian Language courses for exchange students.

See the list of courses offered in English to find course codes, course content, prerequisites, etc. for each course. The lists are updated with details about timetables and exam dates about one week before the course registration opens. See also Norwegian courses for international students.

Students who are admitted for exchange register for courses in Studentweb. The online course registration opens around 1 December for courses in the spring semester and 1 December for courses in spring semester (3 December in 2024 since 1 December is a Sunday).

Exchange students who register for courses online before arrival in Oslo may have a better chance of being admitted to the courses they wish to take.
