  • If you wish to decline your offer of nomination, log into Søknadsweb and decline the offer.

• Am I guaranteed admission to my host school?

  Am I guaranteed admission to my host school?

  • Be aware that even though NHH has nominated you for a place at one of our partner schools you must still apply for admission directly to your host school. Upon your nomination, NHH considered you as a qualified applicant and reserved a place for you at the host school, but it is essential that you maintain you level of grades and study progression and fulfil any language requirement or work experience requirement in the time leading up to your application for admission to your host school.
  • Host schools may choose to decline your application for admission if you do not fulfil the requirements listed above or if you do not follow the directions and deadlines given you by the host school.
  • Remember that NHH partner schools all operate with different deadlines and various sets of requirements and that students will not receive information about the application process to their host schools at the same time. So do not worry if you have not yet received an email from your host school while your classmate going to another destination has.
