Re: How long does it take to earn a degree in your area?

[making_excuses]

We apply to either a Bachelor's Degree course, a Year Study in a field or in some cases a Master's Degree course, but usually you apply for a MA after getting your BA, which you can only apply to with a C or above average, but most of them it has to be a lot higher as there is a fight to get the spots.

Bachelors is 3 years (180Study Points)
Masters is 2 years (120 Study Points)
Ph.d is 2 years

MA's and Ph.d's usually take longer than 2 years to complete, but it is possible and that is the time that is the norm, you have to apply to spend more time on it, as we are only enrolled for the standard amount of time.

We get 7 years of Higher Education funded by the state so if you want to keep your student loans and scholarships you have to finish pretty in that time period.

A Bachelors Program usually looks something like this, you take 30 Study Points (SP) each semester, which is usually 2 or 3 subjects.

15-20SP is put aside for Examen Philosophicum and Examen Facultatum, two subjects which are mandatory to earn a Bachelor's Degree in Norway.

30SP or so are put aside for subjects that don't directly involve our degree, some Universities might also have a mandatory small (7,5SP) Humanities course for the Science people and Science for the Humanities, to show them that they have to work together and that both sides of the coin are important.

30 - 60 SP are usually intro courses or the basics

30 - 60 SP are for specialisation

30ish SP to write our BA

I think we might have less choice in what we do with our degrees than a lot of other countries, but we do pick some of our subjects either for a specialisation or out of interest, there is also no one stopping us from taking extra subjects if we want to and in some cases there are enough spots or we qualify.

What are Examen Philosophicum and Examen Facultatum? As in, what subjects/topics are you studying for them?

Snagging this from Making_Excuses as she hasn't answered you yet (though this is really late)

Examen Philosophicum (or ex.phil) is basically learning about philosophy, like about different philosophers and philosophical principles.

Examen Facultatum (or ex.fac) depends on your field of study. Like I am currently working on a bachelor's degree in history so my ex.fac was in history, archaeology and conservation studies. It had, at least with my field, also some philosophical elements, and in my seminars we discussed a lot about whether or not history is a science or not. We also talked about laws (and whether or not they existed in the field) and methods used when studying history. Making_Excuses would have a different experience from me here as she studies another subject.
