This is how it works at our school:

  • At Verk Folk High School, international students are not placed in separate classes. Instead, they are fully integrated into regular classes alongside Norwegian students who speak both Norwegian and English.

Our experience shows that this creates real friendships and helps students learn the language faster and more naturally.

  • That is why "Norwegian for Foreigners" is not a separate study line, but an additional course for those who want to learn Norwegian.
  • This means you can freely choose from our wide range of main courses, without limitations.

What makes Hurdal Verk even more unique is that all students take two main courses, not just one. This allows you to combine different interests, enjoy greater variety in your school year, and meet even more people — giving you a richer social and learning experience.

  • When you apply, you select your Line 1 and Line 2, and simply add Norwegian for Foreigners if you want Norwegian language training.
