! That way, we can make sure you get your English certificates, and be of help with the application. As a Noroff student you should put NOROFF as "agent" on the application form, if there is such a form field (forms tends to change :).
1. Do I need studiekompetanse to study at Glamorgan?
It's not a requirement from Glamorgan. But to get financial funding from Lånekassen, you need to fulfill several requirements. One of this requirements are studiekompetanse. Lånekassen can make exceptions, if you are over 25 years old and have what's called realkompetanse.Please visit Lånekassens homepage for further information.
If you have loan in Lånekassen, and are going to finance your further studies on your own, i.e without financial support from Lånekassen, remember to inform Lånekassen that you still is a student. if not, your loan will increase due to the interest rate, and you will be asked to pay back.
2. How about my English skills?
If you have an English grade from videregående skole that is 4 or better, you're safe. See the details of demands here: http://international.glam.ac.uk/apply/.
Your videregående skole will - most likely - be able to give you an English diploma, but ask for it early in the application process, the schools are known to use a long time to get it translated.
If you don't have an English grade from videregående skole that is 4 or better, you can take an English Language test. You can go for a TOEFL or an IELTS test. You will find some valuable information here: The British Council. You'll find even more information regarding the IELTS- and TOEFL-tests on the home page of Universitetet i Oslo, the Folkuniversitetet i Oslo homepage, and probably on the ANSA homepage, or Google.
I will apply for the Network and Security course.
How do I apply?
Students who have completed (or are undertaking) Noroffs second year of Network and IT Security can apply.
First, you register by sending an email to
Denne e-postadressen er beskyttet mot programmer som samler e-postadresser. Du må aktivere JavaScript for å kunne se adressen
, where you tell the Noroff International Study Advisor when you plan to start, and who you are. Then he will add you to Noroffs list of applying students, and make sure you'll get your English Noroff Certificates. This is not an option, not even a feature - it's the law! :)
Please login to student.noroff.no and update your personal settings. We will not update them manually.
Pick up the international application form here: http://international.glam.ac.uk/apply/
Check out a dummy form already filled in with information.
You can also download these forms, that you can attach to your application:
EU citizens
EU citizens, please use this application form.
(Note: The students should be aware that it is normally their Country of Domicile, not the country of Birth that normally determines the fees.
E.g. A British citizen who lives abroad would probably have to pay international fees. I say normally because the regulations are more complex than this so an expert from the finance department will normally make this decision.)
You'll find that the application demands several attachements, including personal statement where you're supposed to explain why you would like to undertake the course you apply for. Another very important attachement is the referee documents, where you must get two persons that have knowledge of your academic or professional ability. Your teacher(s) at Noroff are most likely willing to give you such referee document - note that you'll need it on headed paper.
What course am I supposed to apply for?
BSc (Hons) degree in Network Management and Security
OR
BSc (Hons) Network Security for International Students
OK, the application form is filled out, allright. What's next?
A representative from University of Glamorgan visits Noroff every spring, and will come to visit you in class. Bring along your complete filled out application form, with attachments and all. He will take it back to Wales, and assess it. If you are a webstudent, and cannot come to a campus for the representatives visit, please send your application to this address (keep a copy for yourself, and please inform Noroff that you've sent it on

Costs
http://money.glam.ac.uk/fees/
Note: Your Bachelor's degree is an undergraduate study. (No idea what I'm talking about? Click the link, then...)
Important!!!!
You have to pay half of the course fee before you are allowed to enrol. So, make sure you do this before you arrive or you will not be able to enrol.
If you are paying by bankers’ draft, include some identifying details, so that Glamorgan knows what it relates to when the fee arrives; Name, Course and Personal ID number (found on the offer letter) would be ideal.
Make sure you apply to Lånekassen as soon as possible, so that you have the finances ready to pay on time.
DO NOT FORGET!!!!!
Common mistakes when applying to Lånekassen for financial support
When you apply to Lånekassen, do not choose the option that says something like "utdanningen inngår i en norsk grad".
You get your degree from the University, not from Noroff. You've received your prior education from Noroff, and the University has evaluated Noroff programs to be of such a high standard that 2 year Noroff Diploma graduates can start directly at year three.
So, when applying to Lånekassen, do NOT say that the degree is part of a Norwegian education/degree.
Accomodations
http://international.glam.ac.uk
Some other sites that could be good starting points for your search:
Do I need to have complete Noroff certificates (completed your studies) before starting at the university?
Yes, you do. You can apply, but you'll probably get a hard time explaining why you show up without your Noroff certificates.
Frequently/Rarely Asked Questions
What is my IRO number?
The IRO number is the International Recruitment Number, it is a unique identifier in the International Office Database of applicants. It should be on your offer letter. The International Office would like you to include this number when communication with them, so that they can easily find you in their database. If you haven't received this number yet, you'd probably hasn't received an offer letter either.
