Master in Exemption Course By Course Old

Navigating the academic recognition process at BI Norwegian Business School allows students to leverage their existing professional background and previous studies to streamline their degree progression. This specific mechanism for course-by-course exemption is designed to formally recognize both academic (formal) and experiential (non-formal) learning, ensuring that students do not repeat content they have already mastered.

Strategic Credit Recognition

• Formal Competence: Students may apply for exemptions based on documented academic backgrounds that align with the specific learning outcomes and credit values of BI courses.
• Non-Formal Competence: Prior work experience acquired after the age of 18 can be evaluated for credit, capped at a maximum of 29 credits toward a degree.

It is important to note that these exemptions are strictly applicable to core courses within a degree programme; elective courses are generally excluded from this process. While an exemption acknowledges prior knowledge, it does not reduce the total tuition fee for the programme. Students must ensure they meet the residency requirements, as a minimum of 60 credits must be earned directly at BI to be eligible for the award of a degree.
