Courses and documents for exchange students
At the University of Oslo the faculties are in charge of the courses and exams. Exchange students may take courses across faculties and departments, depending on their academic background.
Courses selection process and registration
UiO offers a wide range of courses in English, and a variety of Norwegian Language courses for exchange students. See the list of courses offered in English to find course codes, course content, prerequisites, etc.
Nominated students must list the courses they wish to take in the application for exchange. The list is a preliminary indication and not the actual course registration for the exchange. See how to apply for exchange
Students who are admitted for exchange register for courses in Studentweb which opens 2 December for the spring semester 2026.
The list of courses is updated with details about timetables and exam dates about one week before the course registration opens. Exchange students who register for courses online before arrival in Oslo may have a better chance of being admitted to the courses they wish to take. Read more about how to register in Studentweb.
