What are my chances of being admitted as a self-paying student?
Qualified, self-paying applicants for undergraduate courses are admitted upon completion of their application, provided the chosen courses are not yet fully booked.Candidates interested in Norwegian language courses should apply as early as possible as these courses may be full even before the February 1 application deadline. Late applicants may be put on a waiting list.Competition for graduate courses is very keen. Only the best qualified applicants are considered for admission and a wide geographical, educational, and professional representation of participants is sought for these courses. In the past years, only 15-20% of the graduate course applicants have been admitted. Note that it is only possible to apply for one graduate course, if you list several the ISS will only consider you for the course most clearly linked to your eduactional and professional background. Tailor your application towards the course you wish to study.
