If You Have a Norwegian National ID Number

This is where you enter your personal information. Ensure you check and update your address and contact information. It is important that this information is current, as this is how we will contact you throughout the application process.

You will be asked if you allow exchange of exam results with other institutions. This is only relevant if you have previously attended school in Norway. If you answer "Yes" to this question, you will allow the Academy to gather exam information about you from other Norwegian institutions.

Since the Academy offers a variety of study programs, you must first select the level of study and then choose the specific study program.

Confirm your application by choosing the "Application alternative". 

Once you have selected your program, click "Next". Review all the information to ensure it is correct. Finally, click "Done" to complete your application. 

Carefully read the instructions for the program you have chosen to ensure you upload the correct documents. 

Document Format and Quality

• Always use PDF format (unless otherwise is stated).
• Ensure the documents are readable and include all necessary information.
• If you are scanning multiple pages of the same document, combine them into one PDF document.
• Transcripts should be scanned in full color to ensure authenticity. Ensure their readability.

Size Restrictions:

• Files larger than 15 MB cannot be uploaded.

Photographs:

Pictures of yourself should be in JPG format with a minimum size of 1 MB.

File Naming:

• Name the documents as described on the admissions website for the specific study program you are applying to. For example: 
  "MADE2021-portfolio.pdf"
  "transcript-BA.pdf"
  "picture.jpg"
• This is especially important if you are applying to several study programs with different entrance exams.

Older Documents

• If you applied last year, older documents may still appear in "My Documents". It is not possible to delete documents from previous admissions. 
• You can check the upload date to determine if the document is from a previous admissions cycle.
• Only documents uploaded for this year's admission are attached to your current application. Therefore, you must upload all required documents as specified on our admission pages for the various study programs.

By following these guidelines, you ensure your application is complete and meets all requirements.

Once you have registered your application, you will be redirected to a receipt page. This receipt includes an application number, which you will need when filling out the application attachment (this step does not apply to exchange programs).

You can view your receipt on the "My applications" page. An application registration receipt will also be sent automatically to your email address.

After registering an application, you can log in to Søknadsweb at any time to track your application status. Select "My applications" from the top left menu to view the status of your application.

You can withdraw your application if needed. Please note that selecting this option will withdraw all your registered applications.

Important: Withdrawal and changes are only possible before the application deadline. 

If you wish to apply to multiple programs, such as one Master's program and one Bachelor's program, log in to Søknadsweb and select "New Application" in the menu. Follow the procedures listed previously.

Important: If you apply for multiple programs, you will receive different applicant numbers. However, all your documents will be shared across all programs, so it is very crucial to name your files according to the guidelines provided!
