Recognition of education
You can apply for academic approval (recognition of other education). We usually respond within 4 weeks. In cases where the processing time exceeds 4 weeks, you will receive a temporary response from us confirming receipt of your application and providing the expected processing time.
What is recognition of education?
If we grant you a recognition of education or credit transfer for an exam result, etc., it means that we consider it so similar what you would have taken at The Norwegian Police University College (in terms of content, scope, and level), that you do not have to take it again here.
You can apply for credit for subjects, modules, exams or tests you have passed, if you can produce documentation from equivalent educational establishments. You can also apply for exemption from parts of the course based on documented prior relevant education/training.
Our assessment of whether your education/training can be credited is based on the descriptions of the learning outcomes specified in the course curriculum.
You must follow the educational program until you have been granted an exemption or been credited for a previous exam.
To apply for recognition of education, you must send an inquiry to studieadministrasjon@phs.no.
Application deadline
Preferably by 1 of September (autumn) or 1 of February (spring).
