Do I meet the GPA requirement at OsloMet?
We do not have the capacity to assess your grade point average before you apply. All foreign education is individually evaluated during the admission process. Please note that meeting the minimum average grade requirement does not guarantee admission, since the admission process is highly competitive.
Please make sure to upload information regarding your university's grading system, if you have any.

Could you check my documents and consider if I am eligible for admission for this master’s degree programme?

I will complete my bachelor's degree in June next year. Can I get a conditional offer of admission?
