One-year Norwegian study

One-Year A1-B2 Norwegian language and culture program – Full time study

The full program (module A1-B2) offers 600 hours of expert instruction, blending classroom learning and online modules to provide a full spectrum of linguistic skills. Set in the vibrant heart of Oslo at our renowned language school, the program covers all key language stages from A1 to B2, including specialized preparation for the Norskprøve exam. Engage in dynamic conversations, tackle challenging assignments, and test your proficiency through simulations of the official Norwegian language tests for B1/B2 and B2/C1 levels. Transform your understanding of Norwegian from the ground up, guided every step of the way by our dedicated educators.

The classroom-based sessions are held from Mondays to Thursdays and have the following format: 

Each lesson hour lasts 45 minutes. Self-study hours are flexible, therefore the timetable only shows an estimate of approximately how many hours you should spend each week.

Our full-time, one-year Norwegian language program not only sharpens your skills within the classroom but also empowers you to actively use Norwegian in everyday settings beyond Alfaskolen. This immersive curriculum ensures that with each session, you’ll experience noticeable improvements in your ability to communicate and understand your surroundings. Engage with the language dynamically and watch your proficiency flourish in real-world interactions.
