Transfer Credits and Exemption from Requisite Courses

Have you completed courses at other institutions, or fulfilled credit requirements through approved seminars or classes outside the Norwegian Academy of Music? There are two transfer credit options.

Transfer Credit Application Procedures for Music Subjects

  1. Check to make sure that the scope of your previously completed course is the same or greater than the one you are applying to be excempted from (min. equal number of study credits).
  2. Write a brief application stating which course you wish to be exempted from, and include a description and outline of your previously completed course.
  3. With your application, include academic transcripts with grades from your former place of study/academic institution.
  4. Submit your application per email to kathryn.a.nordby@nmh.no or drop off your application at the administration reception desk on the 2nd floor.
  5. Check your NMH email for a reply to your application.

Transfer Credit Application Procedures for Non-Music Subjects

  1. Check to make sure that the scope of your previously completed course is the same or greater than the one you are applying to be excempted from (min. equal number of study credits).
  2. Write a brief application stating which course you wish to be exempted from, and include a description and outline of your previously completed course.
  3. With your application, include academic transcripts with grades from your former place of study/academic institution.
  4. Submit your application per email to post@nmh.no or drop off your application at the administration reception desk on the 3rd floor.
  5. The administering Case Officer will write and submit a case presentation to the Academic Affairs Committee, with a decision recommendation. The student's letter of application and transcripts will be included for the Academic Affairs Committee's assessment.
  6. The Academic Affairs Committee will assess the application.
  7. Check your NMH e-mail for a reply to your application. Note that the Student Academic Affairs Committee only meets once per month, and that the deadline submissions is two weeks prior, in order to be assessed at the following meeting. These applications may therefore have a longer decision period.
