Is studying in Norway good for employment? Advantages of studying abroad and employment in Norway

Norway's higher education is world-famous and its scientific research level is first-class. In recent years, many students have gone to Norway to study. So, is it good to study in Norway for employment? What are the employment advantages? Look at the introduction with me!

1. Employment prospects after studying in Norway

In Norway, employment generally focuses on professional counterparts. If international students have studied science and engineering in Norway, it is relatively advantageous to find some jobs related to science and engineering after graduation, as are other majors; But if it is an all-round talent, it can be employed across fields. So considering the future employment, it is very important to choose the right major.

Judging from the current situation, if you want to work in Norway, science and engineering is relatively easy. For example, it, engineering and biology are the hottest industries, and there is a shortage of talents, but the working language is basically English, which requires everyone to strengthen their language skills during their study abroad. However, the employment situation of social science business major is relatively complicated. First, everyone needs to be fluent in Norwegian and English, and then students may be required to have relevant work experience. Therefore, many students majoring in business will generally consider looking for job opportunities in multinational companies.

Of course, there are also some students who can't find suitable jobs temporarily after graduation. In this case, the Immigration Bureau will generally provide students with a one-year job visa, but if they want to apply for this visa, they will require the applicant to have a deposit of about 200,000 RMB. As long as the visa application is successful, the money is still for my own use.

Second, the advantages of studying abroad and employment in Norway

The developed economic level has created a good employment environment. Norway is a modern industrialized country, and its agricultural population accounts for only 6.6% of the total population. It is one of the few countries in the west without foreign debts after the war. The economic sectors are developed, including offshore oil, shipping, hydropower, electrometallurgy, chemical industry, shipbuilding and wood processing industries. Students majoring in related majors can find suitable jobs in the local area after graduation, and their employment is more secure.

Three. Conditions for studying in Norway

(1) Education requirements

According to the educational system and academic system of different countries, Norway has set more detailed standards for the admission conditions of foreign students, and the academic requirements for foreign students applying for admission are also different. But the usual admission conditions include education, study plan, English (or Norwegian) level, proof of funds and so on.

Undergraduate course: Norwegian institutions of higher learning accept undergraduate students, and the academic qualifications of applicants are required to graduate from high school to the first year of university, or even two years of university. In view of the fact that China students have a college education for more than one year, they can graduate from junior college.

Postgraduates: Some master's courses in Norwegian institutions of higher learning are taught in English, mainly for international students who enjoy scholarships from Norwegian research and development institutions in Eastern European countries and developing countries, or who come to Norway through exchange programs and quota programs, and also accept a small number of self-funded international students. Some exchange students can take master's courses, but they can't get master's degrees.

Doctoral degree: Foreign students applying for doctoral degree in Norway should have the same conditions as Norwegian applicants. However, only a master's degree does not necessarily guarantee that an applicant can be admitted. Because there is great competition for doctoral admission, applicants should contact their interested departments before applying.

(2) Language requirements

Due to the continuous expansion of exchange programs, almost all universities in Norway have participated in some exchange programs. Therefore, Norwegian universities adopt the model of British education system, and more and more majors are taught in English. Nevertheless, Norwegian is the official teaching language of Norwegian universities, and almost all undergraduate majors are taught in Norwegian. Foreign students who apply for degree courses taught in Norwegian should have a good foundation in Norwegian.

English language requirements:

TOEFL: 500 (undergraduate) and 550 (computer test 170) or above; (graduate student).

IELTS: 5 to 5.5 or above.
