Hey, you guys have done your UCAS applications already, right?

I do not intend to add my certificate from the lower secondary school, but I received some sort of certificate from there as well. Should I state that I got one, but not add one, or should I state that I didn't get any certificates?

You only have to add the vitnemål from videregående.

As far as I'm aware, British universities operate in years, not semesters*, so the tuition fee is per year, not semester. Therefore, you'd pay for a year at a time, and so it's not 114K/semester but 114K/year (thankfully :tongue:).


* Of course they have something they call semesters, but they're not equivalent to semesters in Norwegian unis, which was my point.


I'm not sure who confused who, but I do know that the tuition fee is per year. I figured out that the university accepts that you split the fee into 2, meaning I'll pay £14800/2 twice per year, instead of £14800 before each year.

Given that I'll get 114k/semester, (...)

I'd say you confused me. :tongue:

And did you contact them and ask? Either way, why is that beneficial to you? Isn't it easier to pay once a year? (or is that not an option for some reason?)

EDIT: I just need to sit down and look at the numbers. Nvm. I'll work it out.

Most of the "stipend"-part is actually from those 60k. Only 2000 or so is for travelling, whereas the rest is from the extra scholarship.

Subtract the deafult support and make it into £s:
228,830 kr 90,800 kr = 138,030 kr = £15,903.72

Either does Lånekassen overestimate the British pound, or the travelling scholarship is more than you are entitled to. Either way, you have the money you're supposed to have. :smile:

As a norwegian I don't need to apply for a visa (according to ANSA), but do I need to contact the embassy or anything for what ever reason? Or is it just to get on the plane and go to England?

The latter. :biggrin:

You just need to have a valid passport. :wink:

You don't even need to register with the police or get a fødselsnummer, though you should register with the NHS just incase you have a medical emergency of some sort.

Thanks... it didn't answer my question though: should I select that I have received a qualification, but leave it out, or shall I just put that I did not get any qualification?

It seems that some of these points contradict SONOR's guide, but I trust ANSA more, so...

I also heard from Brimingham about entry requirements to the course I'd like to apply to:

Vitnemål: 5.00 with 5's and 6's in relevant subjects.

I only have 4.80, but have 6 in R2, 5 in Chemistry with a 6 on the exam and 5 in physics.
Challenge accepted.
