What IELTS score do you need for Oslo Metropolitan University (OsloMet)?

You do not need a test if you finished upper secondary school in Australia, the Bahamas, Barbados, Canada, Fiji, Guyana, Ireland, Jamaica, Kenya, Malta, Mauritius, New Zealand, Papua New Guinea, Samoa, Singapore, South Africa, Trinidad and Tobago, the UK or the US, or completed a year of English-taught university study in the UK, US, Canada, Ireland, New Zealand or Australia.

A bachelor's, or a year of a master's, taught in English in a Nordic country or the Netherlands also counts. Applicants from Cameroon, Ethiopia, Liberia, Namibia and the Philippines with an English-taught bachelor's are exempt under conditional country rules. India, Pakistan, Bangladesh and Nigeria are not on these lists, and exempt applicants still upload proof such as their school certificate.

OsloMet's overall score is lower than many Norwegian universities, but the 6.0 floor in every skill is strict: 7.0 overall with a 5.5 in Writing fails. Duolingo is not on the list. TOEFL scores must be sent electronically from ETS to OsloMet, with a copy uploaded to Søknadsweb.

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