Bachelor degree at HiOA
School education in Norway lasts longer than 11 grades. Therefore, in order to enter an undergraduate program at HiOA, applicants must complete 1 year of university in their home country or take one of the preparatory programs (A-Levels, Foundation, etc.).
The city campus of HiOA provides students with countless opportunities for work and recreation — from sitting in a coffee shop with a laptop to internships at large companies. Oslo has a well developed entertainment infrastructure, but the rhythm of the big city can be distracting for some students. The university students have access to the library. It is an integral part of learning. Students come here for educational literature or to do their homework. Not only locals study at HiOA, but also students from other countries. This is a unique opportunity to get in touch with the culture of other countries, meet representatives of different nationalities and make friends around the world.
