Below you will find the general requirements to previous education. These are minimum requirements determined by NOKUT. Please note that institutions may have higher and/or additional requirements for all or some programs.
Academic requirements
A compilation of country-specific information called the GSU-list (formerly SIS list) states what level of education applicants from different countries need to meet for entry into Norwegian higher education, including any requirements concerning proficiency in English. For courses where the language of instruction is Norwegian, proficiency in the Norwegian language is also required.

Some study programs have special admission requirements, usually relating to specialist subjects or fields of study from secondary school. Please check wit
Masters programs
Admission requirements are decided by each university and university college based on an academic evaluation of the applicants.Applicants for Masters programs have normally obtained an undergraduate/Bachelor's degree or equivalent of at least 3 years' duration. The degree must include courses equal to at least 1 1/2 years of full-time studies in a subject relevant to that of the program applied for.

Ambassador Bodde Opens English Access Microscholarship Programs in Morang
June, 27- Kathmandu, The United State(US) Ambassador Peter W. Bodde launched the English Access Microscholarship Programs in Itahari and Morang, Wednesday.The English Access Microscholarship Program – more commonly known as the Access Program – provides a foundation of English language skills and leadership skills to disadvantaged youth. This is done through a two-year program of after-school classes and extracurricular activities. In addition to English, Access students learn about American culture and democratic values. They also develop leadership skills and discover ways to help their communities through volunteer service.
Talking to the new Access students in Itahari, mbassador Bodde said: “I want to tell you, the new Access students, that we believe in you. If you
work hard in this program, you can achieve great things. We’re offering
you education and training so you can go on to study in college,
university and beyond. At the end of this two-year program, your English
and public speaking skills will be better, and we expect you to take these
skills and become leaders in your schools and in your communities. I have
high expectations for all of you.”
The Access program is world-wide. Since it started in 2003, over 95,000
students in more than 85 countries have participated in the program. In
Nepal, the Access Program began in 2011, and 280 students have graduated
so far. Currently, there are 320 students enrolled in Access classes across Nepal.

US News publishes list of physician-ranked medical residency programs
Thousands of medical students will submit their final preferred list of postgraduate residency programs to the National Resident Matching Program (NRMP) on Feb. 26 after a year of interviews, research, and plenty of hand-wringing to determine where they might like to start their careers in medicine.
Stirring up the high-pressured match season a little more, US News & World Report this week published a ranking from the physician social network Doximity of U.S. medical residencies based on thousands of surveys from physicians who have completed internal medicine residencies in the United States. The surveys were sent through web notifications and emails to 18,695 members of the social network.
Massachusetts General Hospital and Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston achieved the top nods along with Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore. All three received 600 nominations from the physicians surveyed, and following close in line is the University of California, San Francisco Medical Center.
Each of the physicians Doximity surveyed completed a U.S. residency in internal medicine. Approximately 3,400 responded (18 percent), sending in approximately 2.7 nominations apiece for an internal medicine residency. The survey ran from mid-December to Feb. 10, representing around 1,300 hospitals and every state except Alaska and Wyoming.
Medical students wringing their hands about their futures might use this survey to inform their selection process. But the question remains: should they?
A list like this could easily be associated with other well-known rankings by US News, including the Best Colleges list that many high school students turn to annually. US News’ Best Hospitals ranking also brings huge marketing power to those hospitals and health systems ordained at the top of the list.
But Ben Harder, general manager of health and science at US News, said this list is “definitely not a U.S. News ranking” in an email exchange Friday.
“U.S. News builds nearly all of its rankings on objective quality data,” said Harder. “Unfortunately, objective clinical data on residencies is nonexistent.”
In the explainer piece Harder wrote online for US News, he notes a few problems with the objectivity of the data Doximity collected while also citing its potential to influence students.
In the surveys, physicians tended to nominate medical residencies near their own practices, while the South and West were underrepresented. Respondents were also more likely to be subspecialists and not internists (so it’s questionable whether their opinions of internal medicine residencies is the best source for a ranking).
Doximity also surveyed residency and fellowship directors, whose responses were pooled with the physicians’ at equal weight, despite the potential for bias.
“A few institutions did have three or four who responded, while most had no more than one, so it’s reasonable to take the nominations from that subgroup with a grain of salt,” said Harder. “At the same time, a large majority of nominations for all of the programs came from doctors who didn’t have a personal affiliation with that program.”
So with these data limitations, why is this survey even relevant for medical students?
Harder wrote online that the list’s “insight into programs’ reputations could inform their preferences, particularly if they are concerned about how future colleagues might judge their medical pedigree.”
“It certainly responds to the desire of medical students for information about the training programs,” wrote Dr. Joanne Conroy, the chief healthcare officer at the American Association of Medical Colleges, in an email exchange. “This is especially relevant as they are making their priority lists for submission to the NRMP.”
Dr. Conroy does not expect this list to affect this year’s match season since most applicants have already submitted their final selections.
What do you think of this list? Would you rely on it based on the data?
Stirring up the high-pressured match season a little more, US News & World Report this week published a ranking from the physician social network Doximity of U.S. medical residencies based on thousands of surveys from physicians who have completed internal medicine residencies in the United States. The surveys were sent through web notifications and emails to 18,695 members of the social network.
Massachusetts General Hospital and Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston achieved the top nods along with Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore. All three received 600 nominations from the physicians surveyed, and following close in line is the University of California, San Francisco Medical Center.
Each of the physicians Doximity surveyed completed a U.S. residency in internal medicine. Approximately 3,400 responded (18 percent), sending in approximately 2.7 nominations apiece for an internal medicine residency. The survey ran from mid-December to Feb. 10, representing around 1,300 hospitals and every state except Alaska and Wyoming.
Medical students wringing their hands about their futures might use this survey to inform their selection process. But the question remains: should they?
A list like this could easily be associated with other well-known rankings by US News, including the Best Colleges list that many high school students turn to annually. US News’ Best Hospitals ranking also brings huge marketing power to those hospitals and health systems ordained at the top of the list.
But Ben Harder, general manager of health and science at US News, said this list is “definitely not a U.S. News ranking” in an email exchange Friday.
“U.S. News builds nearly all of its rankings on objective quality data,” said Harder. “Unfortunately, objective clinical data on residencies is nonexistent.”
In the explainer piece Harder wrote online for US News, he notes a few problems with the objectivity of the data Doximity collected while also citing its potential to influence students.
In the surveys, physicians tended to nominate medical residencies near their own practices, while the South and West were underrepresented. Respondents were also more likely to be subspecialists and not internists (so it’s questionable whether their opinions of internal medicine residencies is the best source for a ranking).
Doximity also surveyed residency and fellowship directors, whose responses were pooled with the physicians’ at equal weight, despite the potential for bias.
“A few institutions did have three or four who responded, while most had no more than one, so it’s reasonable to take the nominations from that subgroup with a grain of salt,” said Harder. “At the same time, a large majority of nominations for all of the programs came from doctors who didn’t have a personal affiliation with that program.”
So with these data limitations, why is this survey even relevant for medical students?
Harder wrote online that the list’s “insight into programs’ reputations could inform their preferences, particularly if they are concerned about how future colleagues might judge their medical pedigree.”
“It certainly responds to the desire of medical students for information about the training programs,” wrote Dr. Joanne Conroy, the chief healthcare officer at the American Association of Medical Colleges, in an email exchange. “This is especially relevant as they are making their priority lists for submission to the NRMP.”
Dr. Conroy does not expect this list to affect this year’s match season since most applicants have already submitted their final selections.

College Resources(Financial Aid)
Financial Aid
Everything comes at a price and education is no exception to the rule. Luckily, most online colleges and universities today offer lower tuition fees than your traditional 'brick and mortar' campus school. However, even if you were to make the choice to enroll in an online college, the cost will continue to remain a significant portion of the average student income.
The good news is that there are many financial aid solutions that can help you along your path to an education. Financial aid is a great way to invest in your future without having to struggle with the increasing upfront costs of a college degree. Many qualify for some type of financial aid. Whether you receive financial aid through the federal government or through private financial institutions such as your local bank, there should be little trouble involved in receiving the money you need to start a successful path as a student.
Most people begin the financial aid process by filling out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), offered through the federal government. After the application process is completed, you will be notified and either rewarded a financial aid package or denied financial aid completely. If you are awarded a financial package by the federal government it may include grants, scholarships, and loans such as the Stafford or Perkins loans, to name a few. If you do not qualify for federal financial aid, then the next step would be to apply for a loan at your local bank or inquire into the other various federal financial aid and state run programs by following the links below.

OSU Gets First Black President in School’s 144-Year History
Ohio State University (OSU) Board of Trustees chose University of California, Irvine Chancellor (UC Irvine) Dr. Michael Drake as the school's 15th president, effective June 30. Drake, OSU's first black president, will replace Gordon Gee who retired amid controversy surrounding his comments criticizing Notre Dame, Roman Catholics and the Southeastern Conference.
The trustees wanted their next president to have a good understanding of fundraising, academic medical centers, academics and athletics among others."Dr. Drake was the strongest and the consensus candidate," said Jeffrey Wadsworth, an Ohio State University trustee who led the search. "From the very beginning Drake was the focus of our attention because of his experience and qualities," William Funk, the head of a search firm who was looking out for a new president for OSU, abc News reports.
Drake hopes to build on the success established by his predecessors. He considers OSU to be one of the prominent institutions in the country.
"The trajectory of Ohio State and the power of Ohio State are admired and understood throughout the world of higher education," Drake said.
In 2005, the 63-year-old California educator was named the fifth chancellor of UC Irvine. Under Drake's leadership, undergraduate applications increased by more than 90 percent and the four-year graduation rate rose by nearly 20 percent. During his tenure, first public law school in California was created in more than 40 years. He also introduced new programs in public health, pharmaceutical sciences and nursing science. Apart from the administrative position, Drake also served as a professor of ophthalmology.
Prior to UC Irvine, Drake served as vice president for health affairs for five years at the University of California system and professor at the UC San Francisco School of Medicine for more than two decades. He is currently a member of the NCAA Division I board of directors.
Drake earned his undergraduate degree from Stanford University and his medical degree from UC San Francisco.
Gee, the former president of OSU, called Drake "a world-class academic and an exceptionally able and seasoned higher education leader." Drake, who knows Gee for several years now, hopes to work with him on a professional basis.

Six British universities named among best in the world
Syria crisis: should universities help?
Vice-chancellor Nick Petford writes from the Kurdistan camp where refugees have lost an education as well as their homes As dusk approaches the temperature fall is dramatic. The small groups of residents still outside turn their backs on the cold and return home. Except of course they don't. Home is not here, among the muddy UNHCR-branded tents and water trucks but somewhere all together more hostile. There are now more than 250,000 Syrian refugees in the Kurdistan region of Northern Iraq, itself no stranger to suffering. Remember Saddam Hussein's chemical warfare against the inhabitants of Halajba? They were Kurds, the same people now offering sanctuary to their desperate neighbours.
I am here to see for myself how my university can help. We have some experience already. Staff from the education department have begun work with UK partners and a Kurdish charity to establish a school in the Domiz refugee camp on the border with Syria. The team sent out resources and trained teachers as part of an ongoing project. A welcome effort but because of its small scale – confined to a single camp – it barely scratches the surface.
The Kawergosk camp where I am has some 2,000 families making up a population of more than 14,000. Most have arrived in the past six months and the facilities are at breaking point. So far no UK charity has sent aid. Walking round with the camp manager we are invited by a family into their tent, partly out of curiosity, but also I expect boredom.
In the fading afternoon light, our muddy shoes left outside, Hussein Issa, a construction worker, tells his story. Their house destroyed as the fighting intensified, the family fled east. His six children all under 10, listen politely in cramped, slightly damp quarters as their parents lay bare the drama that brought them to this place. Struggling to take it in, I blurt out a lame question about his expectations for the future. He stares at me then quietly mutters something about a better life for his children. Suddenly the sense of intrusion is overwhelming. There is nothing more to say.
A group of teenage boys, some in Real Madrid and Barcelona tops, catch my eye in the gloom outside. One wearing a Chelsea shirt comes over. Against a backdrop of gas flares from the sprawling Kar refinery nearby, Ahmed tells me how he completed his first year at a French-run university in Syria before the fighting forced him out. His twin dream is to complete his degree in engineering, and for Jose Mourinho's team to win the Champions League. We both know which is more likely in the near term.
The short drive back past the high rise hotels, pizza restaurants and furniture stores to downtown Erbil is spent in reflection. What should UK universities do to help improve the situation above the support provided by groups like CARA (Council for Assisting Refugee Academics)? What is their wider responsibility, if anything? Should it all just be left to UNICEF? There are no easy answers.
Our plan at Northampton is to develop more widely the pop-up school model through sponsorship and crowdfunding activities jointly with the students' union. This links to our social entrepreneurship agenda and AshokaU Changemaker values. Could this, or similar interventions at grass roots level, be scaled up through a coalition of the willing? Quite easily. And the results would be there for all to see. Is it likely to happen? Welcome back to the awkwardness of Mr Issa's family tent.

The education gender gap is bad for girls as well as boys
Many girls, faced with the same pressures as their male counterparts, respond by becoming too compliant, says Melissa Benn. Photograph: Alamy
More girls are applying to university this year; 62,000 more of them to be exact. To anyone who has followed the steady rise in girls' educational achievements over the past few decades, this should come as no surprise. While boys may be gaining ground in recent years (notching up more top A-level marks), overall girls now "outperform" boys from the early years through to postgraduate qualifications.
No surprise either, the headlines about boys being disadvantaged and "left behind". But could the new gender gap in university admissions point to how our secondary schools are failing girls as well as boys, albeit in more subtle ways?
No one would decry the rise in girls' achievements, or take pleasure in the relative failure of boys. Exam success lays down a first and important marker of, and template for, intellectual development throughout life. It confirms the importance of effort and celebrates the productive mastery of difficulty.
However, exam success is not so good at developing the equally important skills of experimentation, challenge and risk-taking. It is hard to convey to those without children of exam age just how fact-choked and test-obsessed schools have become. For some boys, the resulting boredom and frustration provokes them to make the "wrong" sort of challenge to the school's authority. But many girls, faced with the same pressures, respond by becoming too compliant.
In Tough Young Teachers, the riveting new TV series on Teach First graduates, we witness the tensions between Charles, a slightly stolid RE teacher, and the articulate Caleb who just won't jump through the hoops. Dragged into the head's office, reduced to tears, Caleb just won't play the game – even for a B. And in another often chaotic classroom, who walks across the desks? Boys. I don't recall a single girl sashaying along the tops of the tables. Pretty much all of them had their heads down.
There are successful and not-so-successful versions of the heads-down scenario, and it's the least successful we should really worry about. But conducting interviews for my recent book, it was striking the number of parents who worried about the side effects of their daughters' exam efficiency.
The following example is typical: "She methodically went through every syllabus for every course, discovered what the 'assessment objectives' for every relevant unit were … and exactly how they would be marked." Those same parents also report that it is still often boys who dominate classroom discussions, if and when those conversations happen.
What many parents of high-achieving girls worry about is the wholesale caution, a kind of female compliance that feels horribly familiar and that too easily leads teenage girls to crush and suppress their own questions, uncertainties, furies, hunches and passions. In short, all the things that make individuals interesting.
Mothers, in particular, know that too much obedience won't serve our daughters well later in life. Talented, hard-working women often flounder in work because they haven't been taught to think or fight for themselves, psychologically, professionally or financially. Even the Girls Day School Trust, a chain of independent schools, has instigated "failure weeks" in some of its schools because they think girls have become too risk-averse, obedient or unhelpfully modest.
Who knows? It could turn out that some of those 18-year-old young men who have decided not to continue into the rather depressing world of modern higher education could be making a bold decision to get going in the jobs market. Let the good girls sit in overcrowded lecture halls – with their heads down.

'Selfie,' 'twerk' top school's annoying word list
A Michigan university has issued its annual list of annoying words, and those flexible enough to take selfies of themselves twerking should take note. In addition to "selfie" and "twerking," there was a strong sense among those who nominated words to this year's list that the word "hashtag" and term "Mr. Mom" had both run their course.
"Selfie," a term that describes a self-taken photo, often from a smartphone, led the way among the more than 2,000 nominations submitted to Lake Superior State University's 39th annual batch of words to banish due to overuse, overreliance and overall fatigue. Even President Barack Obama got into the act this month when he took a well-publicized selfie with other world leaders in South Africa for Nelson Mandela's memorial service.
"It's a lame word. It's all about me, me, me," wrote David Kriege of Lake Mills, Wis. "Put the smartphone away. Nobody cares about you."
Since 1975, the list has grown to more than 800 words, many from the worlds of politics, sports and popular - maybe too popular - culture.
"The list is made up completely from nominations. We don't just sit around and think of words that bug us," said Tom Pink, a spokesman for the school in Sault Ste. Marie, in Michigan's Upper Peninsula.
"Twerk" or "twerking," a sexually provocative way of dancing, found a dominant place in parlance due to Miley Cyrus' performance at the MTV Video Music Awards.
"Time to dance this one off the stage," said Jim Connelly, of Flagstaff, Ariz.
"Hashtag" refers to a word or phrase with no spaces preceded by the pound sign on the microblogging website Twitter.
Others on the banned list include "Twittersphere," ''t-bone," ''Obamacare" ''intellectually/morally bankrupt" and anything "on steroids." People also tired of the suffixes "-pocalypse" and "-ageddon" used to make words such as "snow-pocalypse" or "ice-ageddon."
And enough already with "Mr. Mom," a reference to fathers who take care of kids. It's also the name of a 1983 movie starring Michael Keaton, although many stay-at-home dads these days don't like the movie stereotype of a clueless male.
"There were almost as many nominations for 'Mr. Mom' as 'selfie' and 'twerk,'" Pink said.
He believes the title got traction again in 2013 due to news stories about the 30th anniversary of the movie.
"The phrase should refer only to the film, not to men in the real world," wrote Pat Byrnes of Chicago. "It is an insult to the millions of dads who are the primary caregivers for their children. Would we tolerate calling working women, 'Mrs. Dad?'"
"Adversity" and "fan base" - terms often used when discussing sports - got booed. Kyle Melton, of White Lake, Mich., said perspective is needed when referring to a millionaire athlete trying to get a first down in football.<script type="text/javascript"><!--

"The phrase should refer only to the film, not to men in the real world," wrote Pat Byrnes of Chicago. "It is an insult to the millions of dads who are the primary caregivers for their children. Would we tolerate calling working women, 'Mrs. Dad?'"
"Adversity" and "fan base" - terms often used when discussing sports - got booed. Kyle Melton, of White Lake, Mich., said perspective is needed when referring to a millionaire athlete trying to get a first down in football.<script type="text/javascript"><!--

Authors and Authority in Rankings
Data collection for the January edition (to be published in the early days of February 2014) already started, so it is time to make a few considerations about the quality and usefulness of this new edition of the Ranking Web. There are several University Rankings that intend to provide a global coverage of the Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) from all over the world. Unfortunately most of them only covers a fraction (less than 5%) of the HEIs and even for these with a strong research-mission bias. These are concerns (shortcomings) that have been already cited in the now abundant literature about the ranking topics, but there are other issues that are frequently overlooked. Most of the papers comment about the rankings' methodology, unfortunately only for cutting and pasting the Methods section of the rankings without offering any further analysis. This is especially worrisome as even the cited sections are not providing any supporting evidence for the variables or the weightings chosen and there is a lack of published papers explaining in detail such options on a scientific basis with empirical background. And the main reason is that many of these rankings are anonymous, without clear indication of the name of the main author. When the author is mentioned it is easy to check his/her authority level using the academic standard procedure, the total numbers of citations of his/her papers (or the h-index) in internationally recognized peer-reviewed journals.
Today that exercise is pretty easy thanks to Google Scholar Citations, a universally free available database with the largest bibliometric coverage of any academic database in the world. For example, you can easily check the impact of the scientific activity of the main editor of the Ranking Web here:

Dickinson Collage Joins the Eco League
Dickinson has accepted an invitation to join the Eco League, a dedicated group of liberal-arts colleges focusing on environmental stewardship, social change and sustainability education. Dickinson is just the sixth institution to join the Eco League, marking the group's first partnership expansion in 11 years.
The consortium includes Northland College, Wis.; College of the Atlantic, Maine; Green Mountain College, Vt.; Prescott College, Ariz.; and Alaska Pacific University. The Eco League provides students and faculty from the partner institutions with experience-based opportunities such as an exchange program that offers students the chance to study and conduct research in different ecosystems domestically and across the globe; a faculty scholar-in-residence program, guest lectures, curriculum development and co-taught courses. The Eco League roster gives students access to study three oceans and organic farms in five different growing regions. Study opportunities also can be found at Lake Superior, the Sonoran Desert, northern forests, glaciers and coastal islands.
"Dickinson's philosophy is rooted in hands-on learning, so we are excited to provide our students with the access and opportunity to do research in the geographic and ecologically distinct areas represented by our Eco League partners," says Nancy A. Roseman, president and professor of biology.
"Dickinson students are fully dedicated to the liberal arts. They utilize their education, access to amazing facilities and a dynamic faculty to help drive environmental change," says Northland College President Michael A. Miller. "Dickinson will provide great opportunities for all of our students and faculty."
Just a few of the beneficial aspects Dickinson brings to its Eco League partners include the Center for Sustainability Education, Center for Global Study and Engagement, a USDA certified organic farm and The Alliance for Aquatic Resource Monitoring (ALLARM), which works with communities across the state on citizen-science initiatives.

Wellesley Answers Obama’s Call to Expand Higher Ed Opportunities
The White House hosted college presidents, nonprofit organizations, and business leaders Thursday, January 16, for a summit that brought together President Obama’s economic mobility plans and his goal of increasing college completion rates for low-income students in America. More than 100 of America’s top universities and colleges were invited to attend the summit, among them Harvard, Yale, and Wellesley College.
The National Journal published an op-ed by Wellesley President H. Kim Bottomly and Phillip B. Levine, Katharine Coman and A. Barton Hepburn Professor of Economics, discussing the summit and the importance of its message. “This focus on low-income students comes at a crucial time,” they wrote. “Socioeconomically, we are not diverse. The main cause of this problem is the lack of information regarding college costs; most low-income families often assume they cannot afford a private four-year college education and many high-achieving, low-income students don’t even bother to apply to selective schools.”
