Education System in Norway

Higher education in Norway is anything beyond upper secondary school, and normally lasts 3 years or more. To be accepted to most higher education you must have attained a general university admissions certificate (generell studiekompetanse). This can be achieved by taking general studies while in upper secondary school or through the law of 23/5 where a person must be above 23 years of age, have 5 years of combined schooling and work experience and have passed exams in Norwegian, mathematics, natural sciences, English and social studies. Some degrees also require special electives in second and third grade (e.g. maths and physics for engineering studies.) Higher education is broadly divided into universities, which concentrate on theoretical subjects, university colleges, and private schools, which tend to specialize in subjects such as business management, marketing and fine arts.
