Departments (and research)
The School of Pharmacy (Farmasøytisk institutt) has 5 departments:

Studies and admission

Studies
The School of Pharmacy offers a 5-year integrated Master's degree programme(in Norwegian only). Note that the School of Pharmacy does not offer a 2-year Master's degree programme, thus it is not possible to apply to a Master's degree programme, for instance for persons already possessing a Bachelor's degree or the equivalent.

Admission
70 students are admitted to the 5-year integrated Master's degree programme each year.

• In order to be evaluated for admission, applicants must fulfil the basic entrance requirements ("generell studiekompetanse (GSK)") to Norwegian universities.
• Applicants apply through www.samordnaopptak.no (before April 15th).
  NB! Applicants who has secondary education outside Scandinavia must apply before March 1st (vurdering av utenlandsk utdanning).
• The School of Pharmacy does not accept applicants not permanently resident in Norway. If you are not permanently resident in Norway, you might apply to other studies at the University of Oslo (before February 1st).

Student exchange
Since our courses are mainly taught in Norwegian, exchange students usually come to us to do practical work on their master's theses. The academic/administrative coordinators on both sides cooperate to find a suitable supervisor (research group) at Farmasøytisk institutt for those incoming exchange students. PS! If both academic coordinators accept it, and if possible, the agreement can be borrowed to another "institutt" (outside Farmasøytisk institutt).
Courses in Pharmacy offered in English and Norwegian.
(Level: 1st year is 1000, 5th year is 5000 and ph.d. is 9000)

Erasmus
We appreciate your interest in the University of Oslo (UiO). As a rule, UiO do not enter Erasmus agreements based on the interest of one or two students only, as Erasmus agreements are based on mutual interest among the academic staff. We kindly advice you to get in touch with your Erasmus coordinator as for her/him to send a formal request directly to our coordinator.

All Erasmus documents regarding the agreement with Farmasøytisk institutt have to be sent through the administrative coordinator. When the initial registration is done, the Seksjon for internasjonalisering av studier (SIS) and the International Education Office will take over and offer a welcome package and housing accomodation.
Deadline: The application form and learning agreement must have reached the relevant unit at the University of Oslo before 31 May for the Autumn semester (August - December) and 31 October for the Spring semester (January - June). However, to ensure that admitted students have enough time to prepare for their exchange, we recommend that the applications are sent 2-4 weeks before these deadlines.
