Credits from your exchange semester will be recognized into your degree at NHH. 

All students must individually apply for pre-approval for all courses they take during their exchange semester. 

Please note that a completed and signed Erasmus+ Learning Agreement is not the same as a successful pre-approval application.

  Pre-Approval of Courses 

  You don't need to apply for pre-approval of the courses you wish to take during your exchange semester, but you have to read through and sign the terms. We will publish the terms by mid-October 2024. 

  Courses that overlap with mandatory courses in the BEDS program at NHH will not be recognized. We recommend that you read through our list of previously pre-approved courses on Canvas. In order to ensure that your chosen courses on exchange don't overlap with mandatory courses at NHH, you may compare the curricula on our website with that at the host university. 

  You may choose electives from the following study subjects: 

  • Economics and Business Administration
  • Politics and International Relations 
  • Data science/programming 
  • History
  • Languages 
  • Media and Communication 
  • Law 
  • Psychology
  • Sociology

  You can take language courses from the beginner level in all languages except English. You cannot take language courses in your mother tongue, or Swedish/Danish if your mother tongue is Norwegian.

  Requirements 

  • You must take the equivalent of 30 ECTS on exchange. 
  • You cannot take courses which overlap with courses you have already taken at NHH or plan to take at NHH in future.
  • You must choose courses which are within NHH’s subject areas and are which are offered at the graduate level at your exchange school.
  • Language courses taken during your exchange cannot be included towards your degree. 

  Pre-Approval of Courses 

  NHH requires you to take the equivalent of four out of six electives during your exchange semester (30 ECTS). You can take a maximum of 22,5 ECTS in courses from within the same subject area as your major. Bear in mind that at least 22.5 ECTS within the elective component of your degree must not have the same letter code as your major/be in other subject areas than your major.

  During our process for pre-approval of courses, we consider your major profile and your individual study history. We evaluate courses as either pre-approved electives from within the same subject area as your major profile, or pre-approved electives from other subject areas. Pre-approved electives from other subject areas can be put towards your breadth requirement.

  It is then up to you to register for courses which fit with one another in your exchange study plan, avoiding clashes in course schedules and examination activities.  

  The best way to find relevant courses is to familiarize yourself with your host school's website and compare these to our course offering at NHH. Under our Canvas "International Opportunities" course page you will find a list of courses which have previously been approved for students taking their exchange at your host school. This list is to be used as a guide of what type of courses will be approved.  You can also apply for courses which are not on this list.

  Send your application to international@nhh.no to receive pre-approval.

  Once you've returned from exchange, you must ensure that you receive your transcript from the host institution and send it to us at international@nhh.no. Alternatively, you must ensure that the host institution sends the official transcript to international@nhh.no. The official transcript needs to be a verified PDF with stamp/signature/digital signature, or a physical copy. We do not accept screen shots. 

  If you fail a course on exchange, and you went on exchange in the 6th semester (Bachelor) or 4th semester (Master), you will have to apply for an "Additional Period of Completion".
