Admission planning

  • At least 90 ECTS in economics/business are required: minimum 30 in business administration and maximum 45 in methodological subjects.
  • The expected GPA is approximately B.
  • Unless exempt, provide GMAT Focus 555, old GMAT 600 or GRE quantitative 152, with results no more than five years old.

Admission planning

Language requirements

  • IELTS Academic 6.5 overall, PTE Academic 62 or another approved test.
  • Results must be no more than two years old at the application deadline and shared directly by the provider.
  • IELTS One Skill Retake and TOEFL MyBest are not accepted; specific education-based exemptions require evidence.

Admission planning

Study intakes

  • One annual intake, starting in August.
  • The next advertised opportunity is autumn 2027.

Admission planning

Application deadlines

  • The application portal is scheduled to open on 1 January 2027; the published deadline is 15 February at midnight CET.
  • Some portal instructions still refer to autumn 2026, so choose the actual 2027 application round when it opens rather than an old saved option.

Admission planning

International tuition

  • The non-EU/EEA/Swiss master's tariff for the 2026/27 entry cohort is NOK 204,000 annually, fixed for that cohort's normal two-year duration.
  • The 2027/28 cohort's rate is explicitly not yet determined and is expected in the first quarter of 2027.
  • Living expenses are additional.
  • Do not treat the earlier cohort price as the future offer price.

Admission planning

Scholarships & funding

  • The reviewed full-degree financial information does not confirm a general entrance scholarship for this route.
  • Plan funding for tuition and living costs independently; a fee exemption or a separately confirmed external award is not an automatic admission benefit.
