The ISS offers 13 undergraduate courses mainly focusing on Norwegian language, culture and society, and seven graduate level courses centered on topics of broad international interest. At ISS 2008, 510 regular students from 90 different countries attended ISS to intensive weeks both in and out of the classroom.
Application Deadline and Scholarships
The application deadline for 2009 is February 1, 2009. (i.e. the application must be postmarked at the latest on this date). Scholarship applicants must complete two forms: The General Application form and a separate Scholarship Application form obtainable from the ISS office, or from a Norwegian Embassy or Consulate General. Late applications from qualified self-paying students will be considered after the February 1 deadline as space permits.
For the 2009 session, NORAD has also granted a limited number of scholarships for applicants from NORAD's main partner countries. NORAD scholarships are earmarked for graduate (master's) courses that require the applicants to have completed a bachelor degree and to have specific professional experience. Applicants to undergraduate level courses are not eligible for NORAD scholarships.
