Completed a bachelor’s degree

Students who have completed a bachelor’s degree can apply for additional studies admission in the time frame until the next general admission through the Norwegian Universities and Colleges Admission Service (Samordna opptak):

• Completed a bachelor's degree in the spring semester: two semesters of additional enrolment (fall and spring)
• Completed a bachelor's degree in the fall semester: one semester (spring)

Students who have completed an undergraduate degree can only apply for extended enrolment once and have to apply for uptake in the semester directly following the semester they completed their degree.

If you want to continue studying at the University of Bergen after the completion of the extended enrolment, you must apply for a new admission through NUCAS (Samordna opptak). If applicable, you can apply for a master's degree programme through Søknadsweb.

Completed a master’s degree/PhD

Students who have completed a Master’s degree or a PhD can be enroled for additional studies for an unlimited number of times, but for one semester at the time.

Residence permit

You can only use the additional studies admission as a student status if you have a residence permit. If you do not have a residence permit, you must apply for this. Residence permit is given to students admitted to an undergraduate or master's programme. You will not get a residence permit based on the additional studies admission alone.
