Nostrification of the diploma – NOKUT

NOKUT – transfer of education from abroad

Do you have a foreign education that may be unknown to Norwegian employers? Then you should apply for recognition of your foreign education in Norway.

If you have higher education from Poland and would like it to be respected in Norway, you can apply for recognition of your diploma at NOKUT (the Norwegian Agency for Quality Assurance in Education). Thanks to this, future or current employers will be sure that the diploma is legal and confirms your qualifications.
