Please note that if you plan to take open courses only or restricted courses at the Faculty of Law, you do not have to apply for these courses in Søknadsweb now. You will have to sign up for these courses after you get access to UIB  online registration system (studentweb), in mid-June. This also applies to registration for the Norwegian language courses.
