id=\"What_Is_the_University_of_Oslo_Acceptance_Rate\"><\/span><strong>What Is the University of Oslo Acceptance Rate?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The University of Oslo acceptance rate for master&#8217;s programs was close to 50% in the 2025 admission round, not the 5% that many education websites quote. According to<a href=\"https:\/\/www.uio.no\/english\/about\/news-and-events\/news\/2025\/admission-master-2025.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> UiO&#8217;s own admission report<\/a>, the university received 10,755 master&#8217;s applications, sent 5,363 offers and had 3,298 offers accepted. The 2024 round was almost identical in shape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table is-style-stripes\"><table class=\"has-palette-color-5-background-color has-background has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><th><strong>Master&#8217;s admission<\/strong><\/th><th><strong>2024<\/strong><\/th><th><strong>2025<\/strong><\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>Applicants<\/td><td>10,128<\/td><td>10,755<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Offers of admission<\/td><td>5,228<\/td><td>5,363<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Accepted offers<\/td><td>3,036<\/td><td>3,298<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Offers as % of applicants<\/td><td>about 51.6%<\/td><td>about 49.9%<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Accepted as % of applicants<\/td><td>about 30.0%<\/td><td>about 30.7%<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Percentages are our calculation from UiO&#8217;s published numbers. UiO does not publish a single headline rate.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Offer rate and acceptance rate are not the same thing<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When people search for the University of oslo acceptance rate, they usually mean &#8220;what share of applicants get an offer&#8221;. That is the &#8220;offers as % of applicants&#8221; row: roughly one in two. The &#8220;accepted&#8221; row is lower because students hold multiple offers, fail to get a visa, or choose another university.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Where the 5% figure comes from<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yocket and Leverage Edu state 5%, and Shiksha gives 5% to 10%. We could not trace any of these figures to a UiO publication, and none links to one. Treat them as unverified.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>Counselor insight:<\/em><\/strong><em> Students who see &#8220;5%&#8221; often drop UiO or apply as a long shot without preparing. A near-50% offer rate does not mean UiO is easy. Your grade average and program choice decide where you land.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Is_the_University_of_Oslo_Acceptance_Rate_Lower_for_Indian_Students\"><\/span><strong>Is the University of Oslo Acceptance Rate Lower for Indian Students?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>UiO does not publish an India-specific rate, so nobody can honestly quote one. What UiO does publish is a split by region. In 2025,<a href=\"https:\/\/www.uio.no\/english\/about\/news-and-events\/news\/2025\/admission-master-2025.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> 1,024 offers went to applicants from outside the Nordic countries<\/a>, nearly 20% of all offers, up from 891 in 2024. UiO also says it still has fewer applicants from outside Europe than before tuition fees were introduced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This shows non-Nordic applicants are being admitted in real numbers, and fewer applicants from outside Europe means volume is not pushing the rate down as it would at many UK or US universities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>Counselor insight:<\/em><\/strong><em> This is not a guarantee. UiO ranks applicants by program, so compare yourself with your program&#8217;s requirements, not a national average.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"University_of_Oslo_Acceptance_Rate_by_Program\"><\/span><strong>University of Oslo Acceptance Rate by Program<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The overall University of Oslo acceptance rate hides big differences between programs. UiO says<a href=\"https:\/\/www.uio.no\/english\/studies\/admission\/master\/points.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> most of its master&#8217;s programs have far more qualified applicants than places<\/a>, and it publishes &#8220;required points&#8221; (poenggrenser) each year. A required-points value of 0.00 means every qualified applicant was admitted. Higher values show a program where qualified applicants were turned away. Check<a href=\"https:\/\/www.uio.no\/english\/studies\/admission\/master\/points\/points-autumn-2026.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> the Autumn 2026 required-points page<\/a> for your program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Points are calculated on Norwegian letter grades, and for foreign degrees, UiO says it does not use conversion tables. Some programs also add ranking points from motivation letters, CV or work experience, which are folded into the required points.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Programs with extra tests are tighter still. The<a href=\"https:\/\/www.uio.no\/english\/studies\/programmes\/economics-master\/admission\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> Economics master&#8217;s admission page<\/a> requires a GRE Quantitative score of at least 152 or a GMAT Focus score of at least 565.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If your target program looks too competitive, the<a href=\"https:\/\/leapscholar.com\/blog\/top-universities-in-norway\/\"> top universities in Norway<\/a> give you comparable backup options.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>Counselor insight:<\/em><\/strong><em> Students pick a program by degree name and find the extra tests later. Open the Admission tab first. It decides whether you are eligible at all.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Grades_and_English_Scores_Indian_Applicants_Need_for_University_of_Oslo\"><\/span><strong>Grades and English Scores Indian Applicants Need for University of Oslo<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Grades come first when you estimate your own University of Oslo acceptance rate. On the program page for Assessment and Evaluation, UiO asks for<a href=\"https:\/\/www.uio.no\/english\/studies\/programmes\/assessment-evaluation-master\/admission\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> a specialisation of at least 80 ECTS credits and a grade average comparable to a Norwegian C<\/a>, which it describes as roughly an American B or a British Second Class Upper. It states that all foreign education is evaluated individually. Requirements differ by program, so use this as a reference point, not a universal rule. For the wider picture, see our guide to<a href=\"https:\/\/leapscholar.com\/blog\/ms-in-norway-universities-cost-courses-and-requirements\/\"> MS in Norway for Indian students<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>English scores depend on the program.<a href=\"https:\/\/www.uio.no\/english\/studies\/admission\/master\/english-proficiency-master.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> UiO&#8217;s master&#8217;s English page<\/a> sets two levels:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table is-style-stripes\"><table class=\"has-palette-color-5-background-color has-background has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><th><strong>Test<\/strong><\/th><th><strong>Standard programs<\/strong><\/th><th><strong>Higher-requirement programs<\/strong><\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td><a href=\"https:\/\/leapscholar.com\/exams\/ielts\">IELTS Academic<\/a><\/td><td>6.5 overall, 6.5 in each band<\/td><td>7.5 overall, 7.0 in each band<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><a href=\"https:\/\/leapscholar.com\/exams\/pte\">PTE Academic<\/a><\/td><td>62 overall, 58 in each part<\/td><td>74 overall, 65 in each part<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>UiO does not accept IELTS One Skill Retake or <a href=\"https:\/\/leapscholar.com\/exams\/toefl\">TOEFL <\/a>MyBest scores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>UiO has only one English-taught bachelor&#8217;s program, so this guide focuses on master&#8217;s admission.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>Counselor insight:<\/em><\/strong><em> Students often book IELTS after seeing the offer window, and then discover their writing band is 6.0.
