Anyone can apply to Noroff. Whether you receive an offer depends on meeting the admission requirements and providing the required documentation. Follow the steps below to see what you need and how to apply.
Before you apply: Check your deadline
You can apply until one week after your programme starts.
We recommend applying early and uploading all required documents as soon as possible so we have time to assess your application. You can find the start dates on your programme page.
1. Find your programme and check the requirements
Choose your programme and start date, then check the admission requirements, tuition fees and equipment requirements on the programme page.
If you are unsure whether you qualify, you can submit a non-binding application for assessment. Relevant education and work experience may provide an alternative route to admission.
2. Submit your application
Apply through Noroff’s application portal. Submit a separate application for each programme you wish to apply for. You can change your order of preference after applying.
Applications are processed in the order they are received.
3. Upload your documents
Log in to your application and upload the documents needed to show that you meet the admission requirements.
Your document checklist:
- Educational certificates and transcripts required for your programme.
- Documentation of your English proficiency, as explained below.
- Relevant work experience and other supporting documents if applying through prior learning.
- Any existing NOKUT approval of your education.
- Additional documentation requested by admissions.
Documenting your English proficiency
All applicants must document that they meet the English language requirement. This can be through documentation showing that you:
- Come from an English-speaking country.
- Have studied English at upper secondary school.
- Have passed an approved English language test at B2 level or above.
Document language and format
Documents must be official and in English or a Scandinavian language. For documents in other languages, upload both the originals and a certified English translation.
You can upload scans, clear photographs or screenshots of digital documents. Noroff may request official copies or contact the issuing institution to verify authenticity.
4. Review and accept your offer
Once your documents have been assessed and you meet the requirements, you will receive an offer of admission.
Respond through the application portal. You will normally have 14 days to accept, but a shorter deadline may apply close to the start date or if there is a waiting list. Follow the deadline stated in your offer.
Read the terms and conditions before accepting.
5. Arrange payment and funding
Your programme page shows the tuition fees. Follow the payment instructions and deadlines provided by Noroff for your offer and invoices, including any applicable registration fee.
If you plan to apply for student finance, check the eligibility requirements and application process with your funding provider.
6. Prepare for your studies
Check your programme’s equipment requirements and follow the information you receive from Noroff about registration, access to learning platforms and the start of your studies.
Keep track of any outstanding documents or actions before your start date.

An offer of online study does not itself give you the right to live in Norway. If you plan to move to Norway, check the residence requirements that apply to you with UDI.
