The application process has several steps
1: Apply in Søknadsweb by 15 December
Please note that the English proficiency requirement will be strictly enforced for admission.
The University of Oslo may request original documents. Lack of presentation of original documents on request will result in rejection of application for admission.
You may apply from 16 November.
2: Apply for vacant courses in Studentweb from 19 January at 9am
- From 19 January at 9am you may apply for single courses in Natural Sciences (including Informatics) on Master's level.
We cannot guarantee a place on the course you want to take, and the demand on Studentweb can be so high that the course fills up before you can get a place.
- Some courses may have restricted admission, a required previous knowledge or a required sequence of courses. For more information, please see the webpage for courses offered in English.
If you are interested in a course, you should attend the first lecture. In some courses, vacant places are released no earlier than the day after the first lecture.
3: Complete semester registration and pay the semester fee
- Register and pay the semester fee after you have a place on courses. You can find the payment information in Studentweb.
You become an single course student for one semester at a time.
- The deadline is 1 February 2027.
- Claims for the Kopinor fee, NOK 110, first become visible in Studentweb in early February. You will receive an email when you can pay.
4: Username and set password for UiO's services. UiO e-mail adress
Once you have registered for courses and paid the semester fee, you will receive a username by text message and can set a password for UiO's services. It takes approximately one day before your user becomes active. Former students set password in the password service. Applies if you have recently been a student at UiO.
Once you have been given a username and set a password, you can, among other things:
- log on to the learning management system Canvas
- use Zoom safely
- download digital Student ID
- log on to Studentweb with your UiO username and password
Tution fees
Students with citizenship from countries outside the EU/EEA and Switzerland must pay tuition fees to study in Norway. This also applies to single courses.
