Type of course

Admission requirements

Generell studiekompetanse og Matematikk R1+R2 og Fysikk 1. 

Søkere som kan dokumentere ett av følgende kvalifiserer også for opptak:

• generell studiekompetanse og bestått realfagkurs, eller
• bestått 1-årig forkurs for ingeniørutdanning, eller
• 2-årig teknisk fagskole etter rammeplan fastsatt av departementet 1998/99 og tidligere studieordninger

*For å få opptak til enkeltemner på grunnlag av Y-veien, må søkeren oppfylle opptakskriteriene for Y-vei til studieprogrammet som emnet inngår i. I tillegg må søkeren oppfylle eventuelle forkunnskapskrav som er spesifisert for det konkrete emnet de søker opptak til. Det gis begrenset studierett til det spesifikke emnet - på samme måte som realkompetansesøkere.
