Study Options
You will be admitted through the School of Economics.
Note: Host university eligibility criteria are at the discretion of the host and may change without notice.
Find courses
Search the NHH course catalogue for undergraduate or postgraduate studies.
Crosscheck the courses you found in the host course catalogue with the Credit Precedent Database to see if UQ credit has previously been granted. The database should be used as a general guide only. Few courses from each host will be in the database and many course precedents in the database may have expired. Note, the credit precedent database does not replace the host course catalogue. If a course is not listed in the CPD, you can still ask for it to be assessed on your study plan.
