The Quota Programme (December 1)

The Norwegian Quota Programme 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 Programme also offers funding for Ph.D.-programmes and a one-year course in advanced Norwegian Language. The Ministry of Education and Research has granted specific quotas of scholarships to institutions in Norway.
Courses Offered:
The Quota Programme at the university of Oslo offers specially designed, English-taught Master's Degrees and a one-year programme in advanced Norwegian language studies. The Quota Programme also offers funding to doctoral programme students, either for a full doctoral programme taken in Norway or for a shorter period of study in Norway as part of a degree taken in the home country.
