What IELTS score do you need for NHH Norwegian School of Economics?

You need no test if you completed at least two years of full-time university study in Great Britain, Ireland, the USA, Canada, New Zealand or Australia (branch campuses, franchised and distance programmes excluded), or one year of full-time master's-level study taught in English. Upper secondary English comparable to the Norwegian level can also count.

NHH says other grounds will not be considered, so a bachelor's taught in English in India, Pakistan, Nigeria or Bangladesh does not exempt you. IELTS One Skill Retake and TOEFL MyBest scores are not accepted.

Scores must be no more than two years old at the application deadline and come electronically from the test provider. Unless you are exempt, you also need GMAT Focus 555, GMAT 10th Edition 600, or GRE with 152 in Quantitative Reasoning. The deadline is 15 February; the portal for autumn 2027 opens on 1 January 2027.

Requirements vary by programme and change between admissions cycles. The score that binds you is the one on your NHH programme page and in your offer, so check it there before you book a test.
