Here are the following admission requirements for NHH's Executive MBA specialisation.

Admission Requirements 

To meet the admission requirements, you must have completed a bachelor’s degree or education equivalent to 180 ECTS credits from a university and/or a university college.

In addition, a minimum of three years of relevant work experience after completing your education is required.

Admission based on prior learning and work experience 

Recognition of prior learning (RPL) may, following an overall assessment, compensate for the absence of a completed bachelor's degree.

Recognition of prior learning is based on the following criteria

  • A minimum of 120 ECTS credits from an accredited higher education institution.
  • At least eight years of relevant professional experience.
  • Applicants must be 25 years of age or older at the time of application.

Please note that the recognition of prior learning applies only to the specific programme for which admission is sought and does not constitute a general assessment of qualifications.

Credits from vocational technical colleges 

Credits from vocational technical colleges are not accepted as a basis for admission to EMBA programmes.

The following documentation must be uploaded with the application

For NHH to assess/process your application, it must be complete.

You must upload the necessary documentation showing that you meet the admission requirements:

  • Updated CV
  • Diploma and transcript of grades from higher education

NHH has access to results from other public universities or university colleges and universities. The results that appear in the Diploma Registry will also appear for NHH. If you have education from BI Norwegian Business School or education from abroad, you must upload the documentation.

  • Confirmation of three years of relevant work experience

The confirmation must include the duration, position, and signature from the employer by the manager or HR department (CV or employment contract is not sufficient documentation).
