What IELTS, TOEFL and PTE scores do I need for English-taught undergraduate and postgraduate programs in Norway?

For English-taught programs in Norway, undergraduate minimums are typically IELTS 5.0, TOEFL iBT 60 and PTE 51. Postgraduate minimums are programme-specific rather than national (for example, IELTS 6.5 and TOEFL 90 for a general master's at Bergen), so check each programme page.

Other Admission Points

• Cambridge ESOL (FCE, CAE, CPE) and Telc B2 or C1 are also accepted
• Generally, no entrance exams are required, and admission rests on your previous academic record and language scores
• For undergraduate programs, you apply through NUCAS, Norway's centralised admission system

My Advice

Aim for scores comfortably above the minimum, as competitive programmes may want more. Confirm the exact requirement on the programme page of your target university before booking a test.
