- BI Norwegian Business School values a student community rich in different backgrounds and nationalities.
- Only applicants who have been admitted to a Master of Science program and have applied as instructed will be considered.
- Ensures distribution of scholarships across MSc programs.
- Reserves the right to award scholarships according to institutional priorities which many include prioritizing specific master’s programs, diversity and gender distribution, or selected partner schools of BI.
- All applications will be evaluated based on the ECTS grading system. International bachelor’s degrees will be converted to the same scale for fair comparison. Additional factors like academic achievements, standardized test scores, extracurricular activities, and personal accomplishments may also be considered.
