NOKUT's Qualifications Assessment
Who is the procedure for?
NOKUT’s Qualifications Assessment is for those who apply for NOKUT’s recognition, but who cannot be included in NOKUT’s recognition of foreign higher education. This includes those who cannot be included in NOKUT’s recognition procedure for persons without verifiable documentation (UVD-procedure). The reasons for this could be that they do not have sufficient language proficiency in English, Norwegian or another Scandinavian language, do not have residency in Norway or do not have a completed qualification within higher education.
What is NOKUT’s Qualifications Assessment?
The Qualifications Assessment contains information about the applicant’s highest completed qualification, work experience and language proficiency. In addition, advice and guidance about the road ahead. The document contains information on the documentation that formed the basis for the individual assessment. NOKUT’s Qualifications Assessment is valid for a limited time, and has a validity of three years from the date of issue.
