Providers of Norwegian language and Social studies tuition

Overview showing approved providers of tuition in Norwegian language and Social studies for adult immigrants.

Recently edited : 24. February 2025

In order to be granted permanent residency or citizenship, immigrants must meet specific requirements in Norwegian and Social sciences. Tuition with a qualified provider can be used as documentation to meet the these requirements.

Approved providers of tuition

Approved providers of tuition include municipal education centres, regional (fylkeskommunale) education centres and some private providers or associations.

Whereas municipal and regional education centres already are approved for tuition, private providers and associations must apply for approval from The Norwegian Directorate for Higher education and skills (HK-dir).

The list below shows private providers and associations approved by HK-dir.

Please note: Some providers teach only Norwegian, only Social sciences, or a combination of both. You may therefore have to search two lists to find the provider you are looking for.

See the same list in Norwegian.

Expired approval

See a list of providers that are no longer approved or have changed names (in Norwegian only).
