• Accepting or declining your offer of nomination

  Accepting or declining your offer of nomination

  You must accept or decline your offer of nomination in Søknadsweb before the given deadline. If you have accepted your offer, you will be sent a link to the student exchange contract to fill out after the deadline.

  • Log into Søknadsweb by following this link

  You can only accept or decline your offer, not change your destination to another school, even though the school might be lower on the list of preferred schools than the host school you have been nominated for.

  If you wish to decline your offer of nomination, log into Søknadsweb and decline the offer. Out of respect for fellow students, please remember to follow this process so we can offer your nomination to other qualified students applying for the admission to the NHH exchange programme in round two.

  Applying in the second application round

  If you did not receive an offer in the first application round you can participate in the second application round. If you received an offer but wish to re-apply in the second application round, you must first decline your original offer in Studentweb.

  You will then receive a list of leftover places and instructions for submitting an application in the second application round.

• Am I guaranteed admission to my host school?

  Am I guaranteed admission to my host school?

  Be aware that even though NHH has nominated you for a place at one of our partner schools you must still apply for admission directly to your host school. Upon your nomination, NHH considered you as a qualified applicant and reserved a place for you at the host school, but it is essential that you maintain you level of grades and study progression and fulfil any language requirement or work experience requirement in the time leading up to your application for admission to your host school.

  Host schools may choose to decline your application for admission if you do not fulfil the requirements listed above or if you do not follow the directions and deadlines given you by the host school.

  Remember that NHH partner schools all operate with different deadlines and various sets of requirements and that students will not receive information about the application process to their host schools at the same time. So do not worry if you have not yet received an email from your host school while your classmate going to another destination has.
