Additional information
Information for study abroad/ exchange students
Some students must undergo an additional health examination. It costs approx. NOK 2-3 000 and can only be performed by selected doctors (so-called Panel Physicians) in Oslo and Bergen. Reasons why someone must take this additional examination may be, for example, if you have been on holiday in high-risk countries (Africa, some countries in Asia and South America) in the last 5 years.
