  6. NOKUT’s general recognition of higher education • General recognition is the alignment of Norwegian and foreign education. • Your education will be evaluated against the Norwegian degree structure, i.e. • whether it corresponds to a bachelor’s degree, master’s degree. • This recognition does not say anything about the academic content of an • educational program. • http://www.nokut.no/en/Foreign-education/NOKUTs-general-recognition/Apply-for-recognition/ • Documents must be translated into Norwegian or English (Noricom / authorized translator) • The recognition procedure can take almost a year.

  7. Specific recognition - higher education • Specific recognition is used in connection with the recognition of higher • education from countries outside Norway. This means recognition of • education so that it can be given equivalence with a specific Norwegian • academic discipline/subject or degree. • Specific recognition takes place at the academic institution in question. • NOKUT does not conduct specific recognition. • Specific reckognition may be necessary in the following cases: • - If you want to continue your studies at a Norwegian educational institution • - In professions where there is a requirement for a specific degree with associated professional title. • (Documentation compulsory)

  8. The authorization system for persons withouth verifiable documentation (UVD – system) • Whom does the system concern? • This procedure is meant for persons with foreign higher education, i.e. • education from universities and university colleges, who cannot be granted general recognition due to missing or insufficient documentation. This procedure is directed at refugees and persons in similar situations. • How do I apply? First you must apply for a general recognition from NOKUT • If your application for general recognition is rejected because of not verifiable documentation, you will be referred to the UVD-system

  9. The procedure of the UVD system • You will receive a survey form with guidance regarding how it must be completed. The form must be returned to NOKUT together with documentation on language skills and residence permit. • You will be summoned to an interview with two experts who are specialists on your education. • Good knowledge in Norwegian or English is important, since you have to answer questions.
