Bachelor degree at HiG
You cannot enter university in Norway after the 11th grade, as school education here lasts longer. Applicants need to eliminate the academic difference. There are two ways to do this: either study for a year at a university in your home country, or complete one of the preparatory programs (A-Levels, IB, Foundation, etc.).
At HiG, learning takes place away from the city in the countryside. This allows students to be less distracted by the noise and temptations of the big city. If you enjoy spending time outdoors, you will love studying here. Students have access to the extensive scientific library of the university. The collection of scientific papers helps them in conducting research. Not only locals study at HiG, but also students from other countries. The variety of cultures represented broadens the horizons of students and fills student life with all sorts of activities, the purpose of which is cultural exchange.
