You need a bachelor's degree comparable to a Norwegian bachelor's degree (at least 3 years). The University of Stavanger lists these combinations: - Senior School Certificate (WAEC or NECO) in at least 6 subjects, plus 4 years of university education - WAEC GCE O level plus 4 years of university education - WAEC GCE A level (3 A levels) plus 3 years of university education The National Diploma (ND) and Higher National Diploma (HND) are not regarded as university education (UiS).
Minimum grade: Second Class Upper Division or higher (University of Stavanger). Each course also sets its own requirements in your field of study.
Applicants with a degree from Nigeria are generally exempt from an English test.
Usually exempt if English was part of your upper secondary exam: - UiO: exemption for English from Nigerian upper secondary exams (check the grade required) - UiB: Senior School Certificate (from 1988), WASSC (from 1999) or WAEC GCE O/A level with English in the curriculum - UiS: completed upper secondary school in Nigeria - NTNU: an English-taught bachelor's degree from Nigeria (NTNU says its A-level exemption is under review)
Courses can set their own English requirements, so check each course too.
Transcripts must be sent directly from your university to the admissions office (UiO, UiS, and NTNU in a sealed envelope). Also upload a scanned copy in Søknadsweb by the deadline. At UiS, only applications whose transcripts arrive directly by 1 February are considered. Your name and date of birth must match on all documents (UiS).
Rules differ between universities and can change each year. Always check the admission page of the university you are applying to.
