If you have adequate knowledge of Norwegian, you do not need to pass the test for Norwegian language (the requirement about passing the test only applies if you apply after 1 January 2017).

You have adequate knowledge if you have

• passed Norwegian Test 2 or 3 (Norskprøve 2 or 3), written and oral tests, or the Bergen Test, or passed all the four parts of the Norwegian language test at minimum A2 level: oral, listening, reading and written presentation, or
• completed ordinary tuition in Norwegian or Sami in primary/lower secondary school or upper secondary school and been given a final assessment grade, or
• completed Norwegian or Sami studies at a university or university college in Norway or abroad corresponding to 30 credits, or
• met the admission requirement and been offered admission to studies conducted in Norwegian or Sami at a university or university college in Norway.
