About the recognition

You can apply for this recognition if you have higher education from abroad (outside of Norway).

Regulated professions

Below is an overview of professions regulated by the Professional Qualifications Directive (2005/36/EU). If you wish to work in one of these professions, you need authorisation/recognition of your professional qualifications.

Automatic recognition

Automatic recognition is a standardised statement that shows how certain degrees from selected countries are normally assessed by us. The statement may be downloaded and used immediately, without having to apply for recognition.

Interview based recognition procedure

This is an alternative recognition procedure for applicants without verifiable documentation. You will be referred to this procedure if you apply for general recognition of foreign higher education and your documents cannot be reliably verified.
