Basic knowledge of studying in Norway

I. Clothing

What needs to be known in advance after arrival is the local climate conditions. Located in northern Europe, the latitude is relatively high, so the winter here will be very cold and long, and the summer will be short and not hot. The preparation of clothes should focus on keeping warm.

You only need to bring a few sets of seasonal clothes from China, and the rest can wait until later. There are often discounts in shopping malls, which can be bought when the intensity is relatively large, and professional clothing production will be much more mature.

Second, food.

The dining habits here are very typical western-style, and because it is already in northern Europe, there are not many other cuisines here, especially Chinese food. If you want to eat Chinese food, you can only cook it yourself at the level of students' consumption.

However, the western food here is very authentic. After you get used to it, you can enjoy delicious food and have special dishes, which you can't eat in China. There is milk here, you can drink as much as you want, and you don't have to worry about safety.

Third, live.

Students' accommodation is usually arranged in dormitories. Freshmen are eligible to stay in school unconditionally. If they want to stay in the dormitory in the future, they need to show their excellent report cards. Dormitories will also give priority to students with excellent grades.

If you don't want to live on campus, you can rent a house. There are apartments for rent. You can apply directly without going through an intermediary. This saves trouble and time, and you don't have to worry about moving out when it expires.

Fourth, ok

Short-distance travel is usually by bus and subway. Students can get a good transportation card in advance, and as long as there is enough money in the card, they can swipe their cards without obstacles, which is a more suitable choice, saving money and time.

Long distance is usually by train or bullet train, as well as by plane. If it is a long trip, these will be more suitable, especially when returning to China. The direct flight will be much safer, but the price will be more expensive and you need to make an appointment.

Detailed explanation of the application process for graduate students studying in Norway

First, set a good target institution.

University ranking:

Among the universities in this country, several famous universities in the QS ranking are close to 100. There are universities of science and technology in Oslo, Bergen and Norway, which are recognized as quite good universities. First of all, we must choose a good institution.

Urban distribution:

When choosing a campus, we should not only look at the ranking of universities, but also look at the distribution of universities in the city. Usually bigger cities will be better, and software and hardware equipment will help students learn more. It is suggested that students can consider a bigger city when choosing the target institution for graduate study.

Second, choose related majors.

Graduate students should consider a lot when choosing a major, especially the consistency between the major and the university major. Because foreign countries usually don't allow cross-majors, so does Norway.

But it doesn't mean that there is no chance to change majors. Majors such as business are suitable for arts and sciences students. As long as students have GPA, IELTS TOEFL and rich internship experience, it is also possible to apply successfully across majors.

Third, the preparation materials are appropriate.

Personal materials are different from the chosen major, but they usually need basics, such as GPA, IELTS TOEFL, bachelor's degree, internship experience certificate, recommendation letter, resume, statement letter, etc. Well, it takes longer materials, that is, internship experience. This is convenient for notarization, almost all of them need notarization, and the date of notarization will be longer, ranging from1/February, so students can prepare materials as soon as possible after determining the institutions and majors.

Fourth, schedule early.

For everyone, not only the preparation of graduate materials needs to be earlier, but also the time of application should be paid attention to. Because each institution is different, students need to pay close attention to the situation of the institutions they apply for, and begin to prepare online applications for graduate students as soon as possible.

Usually the admission time is in March or April. Don't worry if you don't receive it. Universities in this country will recruit students. The second large-scale enrollment time of postgraduate offer is May-June. If June has passed and students have not received the notice of postgraduate admission, they can start preparing for the next year's application.
