You need to submit valid documentation so that we can assess your ability to meet our application admission.

We only assess applications when documentation is complete.

Documentation

• Up-to-date CV 
• Documentation of higher education. 

NHH has an automatic access to results from other higher education institutions in Norway. The exception to this rule is private schools (Such as BI) and all foreign educational system. If you have such, you must upload a copy of your degree (we do not acknowledge merely grades).

• Verification of required work experience, and statement of your current working position. The verification and the statement must contain duration, title and a valid signature from your company (signature from CEO or HR-Department). A CV or a contract of work is not valid as documentation.

Note: Our digital system has a problem with emails from Hotmail and Yahoo. We strongly recommend that you use an alternative email-address for this purpose.
