Norway follows the Bologna system:

  • Bachelor – 180 credits, i.e. 3 years; exceptions include music performance, where the bachelor's takes 4 years,
  • Master – 2 years,
  • Doctorate – 3–4 years.

Some programmes, including medicine, nursing and teacher training, have additional subject requirements or minimum grades.

Most master's programmes and many courses at bachelor's level are taught in English.
