Required documents
Compulsory courses
If your application includes compulsory courses, UiO will undertake an academic assessment of the content of these courses. You will therefore need to attach course descriptions with reading lists for all courses that you wish to include in the assessment. The course descriptions should be from the same semester as your examination.
If the application includes theses or major written works, you must attach these. They will be returned to you once the application has been processed.
Elective courses
If your application includes only elective courses, you do not need to attach any information if the courses are from other higher education instututions in Norway.
Documentation of grades
UiO can retrieve your grades from other higher education institutions in Norway.
Education from a small number of higher education institutions, such as BI Norwegian Business School, must nevertheless be documented by a transcript of grades.
Document control
UiO may request submission of original documents. UiO may also request a verification of these documents directly from the institution that has issued them.
Fraudulent documents
You are responsible for ensuring that your documents are correct. The use of fraudulent documents is covered by the Penal Code § 361 and will be reported to the police. Read more about fraudulent documents.
