The Norwegian Quota Scheme 2010 – University of Oslo for Master’s and Phd's degree

Scholarship Introduction:

The Norwegian Quota Scheme is a funding scheme offered by the Norwegian Government to students from developing countries, Central and Eastern Europe, and former Soviet states for studies at institutions of higher education in Norway. This funding scheme aims at offering specially designed, research-based Master’s Degrees taught in English. The Quota Scheme also offers funding for Ph.D.-programmes and a one-year course in advanced Norwegian Language. Quota Scheme applicants should come from universities/institutions with formal cooperation agreements with the University of Oslo.

Eligibility for Scholarship:

Applicants for admission under the Quota Scheme must fulfill certain criteria in order to be considered for admission. Admission is limited and therefore extremely competitive.

How to apply:

Due to the large number of Quota applicants to a limited number of Quota scholarships available, potential applicants must submit the online ‘Request for Application Form’ before they can receive the formal application form. The ‘Requests for Application Forms’ will be processed by the International Education Office and only applicants that fulfil all the formal Quota requirements will receive the application form. The deadline for submitting the online ‘Request for Application Form’ is 1 November, in order for the students to have sufficient time to submit the Quota Scheme application and the required documents before the 1 December application deadline.

The Request for Application Form for the 2010 enrolment will be available on this web site end of August 2009.

Students address their Quota application directly to the International Education Office at the University of Oslo.

Doctoral programme applicants must in addition send in their research proposal and application for admission to doctoral studies to the relevant faculty.
