About the programme and your application
I DON’T HAVE A BACHELOR IN HEALTH, ECONOMICS OR MANAGEMENT. CAN I APPLY FOR THIS MASTER?
Yes you can! If you don’t meet the standards, you need to write us a kickass motivation to explain why you feel you are the right candidate for this master’s programme.
I WOULD LIKE TO APPLY BUT I WON’T HAVE A VALID ENGLISH LANGUAGE TEST BEFORE THE DEADLINE. CAN I APPLY AND SEND IT LATER?
Nope sorry, it must be submitted before the application deadline.
DO I HAVE TO DECIDE ON MY TRACK IN MY APPLICATION ALREADY?
Nope. You will choose your track in October, after starting the programme. By then, you will have a good idea what each track is about and which one suits your interest best.
WHAT’S THE MINIMUM GPA REQUIREMENT IN ORDER TO GET INTO THIS MASTER?
The bare minimum is a Norwegian grade C. However, due to the large interest for this master’s programme, students usually have a much higher GPA when selected.
I EXPECT TO OBTAIN MY BACHELOR’S DEGREE THIS SUMMER, CAN I ALREADY APPLY?
Only if you are an EU / EEA Swiss applicant. In this case you must submit your final bachelor diploma early August the latest OR send us a confirmation from the university that the bachelor degree is completed and that you are waiting for the final diploma.
For all other students, you must have completed your bachelor’s degree at the time of application.
CAN I FOLLOW THIS MASTER’S PROGRAMME PART-TIME?
No, this is a full-time programme only.
I FOLLOWED MY PREVIOUS EDUCATION IN ENGLISH, DO I STILL NEED TO DO THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE TEST?
You might be exempted for the test. If you want to be sure, check the situations in which you are exempted described by the University of Oslo.
Can I choose where I am going to start, or do I have to start in Bologna?
All students have to start in Bologna. After the first semester you can decide where to study next.
Can I follow the entire programme at one university?
No this is not possible. Studying in different cities is not only a valuable life experience, it also ads to our programme since you will learn about different healthcare systems and cultures as well.

About financial stuff
Can I apply for a scholarship to attend the programme?
Unfortunately the EMJM scholarship is not availablefor this programme. You can apply for the Erasmus+ mobility grant. This is a contribution to your travel and subsistence costs. Be aware that you can only apply for the Erasmus+ mobility grant once you selected your track in October and it can be granted for a maximum of one year. The amount of the grant varies between €300,- and €470,- per month, from the third semester onwards.
What happens if I don't pay my participation fee in time?
In order to start the programme, you need to pay your participation fees before the 1st of August. If not, you will not be admitted to the programme.
Why do I get a payment request from the Erasmus University while I applied at the University of Oslo?
Since Eu-HEM is a joint programme between four different European universities, all universities take care of some part of the administrative process. All financial stuff for non-EU students is done by the Erasmus University. You need to fulfil your participation fee in two times.
