Opptaksøk

Opptaksøk is a Norwegian term that refers to the application process for higher education admission in Norway. The opptaksøk system is used by the Norwegian system of higher education and it determines the admission to colleges and universities.

The opptaksøk system is based on a grading system where the grade an applicant has achieved in their final year of high school or upper secondary education is taken into consideration for admission to higher education institutions. The school leaving qualifications of applicants are also considered.

Each higher education institution in Norway has its own admission requirements and admission policies, and the opptaksøk system's results are often used as a part of the admission process. The admission requirements may also include other factors, such as language proficiency tests, as well as extracurricular activities and volunteer work.

The opptaksøk system is a rankings system where the grades of the applicants are evaluated and ranked based on their academic achievements. The system typically includes several steps, starting with an evaluation of the school leaving qualifications of the applicant. The qualifications are then evaluated against a set of national criteria set by the Norwegian Ministry of Education and Research.

The coordination of the opptaksøk system in Norway involves educational stakeholders, including universities, colleges, and upper secondary schools. The system aims to provide a fair and transparent way of evaluating applicants and enabling them to access higher education institutions in Norway.

Some higher education institutions in Norway may have specific quotas for the number of places available, and the opptaksøk system's results may determine eligibility for these places. While the opptaksøk system is primarily used for Norwegian high school students, it may also be applicable to international students who wish to pursue education in Norway.
