Admission requirements

Admission requirements

Bachelor’s Degree
Admission to master’s studies in Norway, including the Double Degree program, requires Higher Education Entrance Qualification and a completed degree comparable to a Norwegian bachelor’s degree (3–4 years of full-time study).

A minimum of 90 ECTS should be in the field of economics and business administration. This may include methodological subjects such as statistics or mathematics, but not exclusively. Of these 90 ECTS, at least 30 ECTS should be in business administration (e.g., finance, accounting, strategy, marketing, statistics, mathematics, etc.). These requirements ensure a smooth transition into the NHH MSc program, where all students meet these academic prerequisites.

GMAT or GRE
Incoming Double Degree students are not required to submit GMAT or GRE scores for admission to the Double Degree program.

English Language
Applicants must demonstrate a strong command of English; however, submission of an official language test is not required.
Housing

Housing

Incoming Double Degree students are guaranteed accommodation in one of NHH’s student residences, located near campus, through the student welfare organization Sammen. For more information, please visit our housing website.
Costs and scholarships

Costs and scholarships

Public education in Norway is tuition-free, and Double Degree students do not pay tuition fees to NHH. However, a small administrative and copying fee applies each semester (approximately NOK 810 per semester). You may still be required to pay tuition fees to your home university during your stay at NHH.

No scholarships are available for Double Degree applicants. Incoming students from European partner universities may be eligible for Erasmus+ grants, administered through their home institution.

We recommend budgeting approximately NOK 10,000 per month for living expenses in Norway, including housing.
