Nearly 60 points for NHH´s new study programme

Historically high level: Applicants with high school diplomas must have 59.6 points to be admitted to NHH's new bachelor's programme in Business, Economics and Data Science.

Applicants with additional points must have 63.2 points to be admitted to the new programme.

The cut-off scores are the highest ever.

`Absolutely right´

`The interest in Business, Economics and Data Science (BEDS) has been formidable and shows that NHH's focus on this international bachelor's programme was absolutely right´ says NHH's Rector Øystein Thøgersen.

The BEDS programme offers an economics education with more mathematics, data analysis, programming, and technology. NHH offers the well-known bachelor's programme in economics and business administration. Here too, the cut-off scores are very high, according to the overview from the Coordinated Admissions Service.

`Fantastic for NHH and those who have been fortunate enough to pass through the eye of the needle. More than 2,800 applicants had NHH as their first choice. It will be a very strong intake starting in August,´ says Thøgersen.
