The teachers are very inspiring, they see the potential in us and spur us on.

TRUDE

Refill, refresh, renew, that’s what time in BiT will do for you.

SENI

Previously, I lacked knowledge about the Bible and misinterpreted it. To be a
Christian was like a job. Then I joined BiT Bible School in Norway and got to
experience life with Jesus. It was sooo different! Now I have a relationship
with Jesus – and the life with Him makes me more like Him!

LINCHEN

BiT Bible School in Norway changed my life. Every day I drew water from the
wells of salvation and got to understand more of God’s love and grace. BiT has
been a year of pioneering and widening my horizons.

SILVIA

My year at BiT Bible School has helped me to grow, both personally and in
faith.  I got to know Jesus better and enjoyed experiences that I will remember
for the rest of my life. I pushed beyond my limits and overcame fear. Great
teachers and valuable teaching!

NATI

The two years at BiT Bible School have been the most fruitful years so far in my
life. It is just like the Bible school has been a stage that God has used to
work in me, with me, and through me. I am so thankful!

NINA

I am glad that I didn’t miss the chance to take a year at BiT Bible School in
Norway. I will always remember the joy of worshipping together with incredible
people. The teachers are inspiring and incredible, each in their own way. This
year changed my life – it was an amazing journey!

ELISABETH

Is it enough to be saved, I asked myself again and again? Then it became clear
to me that I needed to become rooted in the Word of God. The more time I spend
at BiT Bible School, the more my hunger for the Word of God increases.

You are created for a relationship with Jesus. A year or two at BiT Bible School
in Norway will give you a deeper knowledge of God through Bible study and time
in His presence. Discover what God says about you and to you! God wants you to
be a channel for His unending love and power to flow through other people.
Heartly welcome – we are waiting for you!

    English.

HOW IS THE STUDENT SATISFACTION?

In 2020 Norway ranked the 5th happiest country in the world, according to a
report for the United Nations. They topped the list several years, latest in
2017, ranking high in indicators as “caring, freedom, generosity, honesty,
health, income and good governance.” Happiness is contagious! Norway has the
highest satisfaction scores in the world among international students. They are
also number 1 in productivity per worker, with almost 50% more gross domestic
product per hour than the UK according to BI Norwegian Business School, who
attributes it to the Norwegian mentality for equality and a flat hierarchy. With
strong welfare and public health services and low crime rates. You can read
about health services for International students at the Norwegian Labour and
Welfare Administration’s website.

Trondheim has been voted to be the best study destination in Norway several
times with 91% satisfied students.


DO I NEED TO LEARN NORWEGIAN?

English is commonly spoken, so it is not needed to learn Norwegian. We help you
if you can’t understand Norwegian. Usually, we have someone who can translate
for you. Norway has many dialects, but if you want to study Norwegian before you
go to Norway you should learn Norwegian (Bokmål). Check YouTube and apps to get
started.


DO I NEED A RESIDENCE PERMIT FOR STUDIES?

Most students who plan to stay in Norway for more than three months will need a
student residence permit, also called a study permit. Visas are only issued for
up to 90 days and will not cover stays beyond this period.

Norway is not a member of the European Union (EU), but a part of the European
Economic Area (EEA). Norway is also part of the European Free Trade Association
(EFTA) together with Iceland, Liechtenstein and Switzerland. Nationals of EU,
EEA or EFTA countries do not need a residence permit to stay in Norway. If you
come from outside the EU/EEA/EFTA area you have to apply for a student residence
permit. The Norwegian Directorate of Immigration (UDI) is responsible for
handling the application process and issuing the student residence permit. See
the requirements for your country here. 

For further information, see Study in Norway – Student residence permit.

Read more about Immigration and requirements to be accepted as a student.

 


DO YOU OFFER STUDENT ACCOMMODATION?

Our school has no student accommodation, but Trondheim is known for having good
student accommodation. You are responsible to find a place to stay yourself, but
you are welcome to contact us if you need further advice on this part. Housing
costs around NOK 4000 to 6000 for a single room with shared bathroom and
kitchen. Students in Trondheim are guaranteed to have a place to sleep at the
beginning of the new semester.


HOW CAN I FINANCE MY STUDIES?

For Norwegian citizens, the Bible school is approved for support from The State
Educational Loan Fund, Norway.

Students from abroad should check if scholarships or loans are available in
their home country to support their Bible study in Norway. It is also possible
to work part-time besides your studies. Norway has an attractive job market and
a low unemployment rate. For more information about work in Norway, see
https://www.workinnorway.no/.


IS IT EXPENSIVE TO LIVE IN NORWAY?

In addition, you can assume that you will need NOK 2000 to 3000 a month for
food. By buying groceries at Rema 1000 and sharing meals with friends at home
you can reduce the cost for food. Norway is the world’s largest exporter of
seafood, so take advantage of the access to high quality seafood. A 30-day
transportation card costs around NOK 500. For further details, Numbeo has an
overview of typical living costs in Norway.


WHAT IS BIBLE SCHOOL?

Bible-school equips you to live as a disciple of Jesus in your everyday life.
Compared to theology study in is much more practical. Through outreach and
internship, you get opportunities to practice what you learn.

The bible studies give you a deeper foundation for your faith. You get time to
reflect and ask questions. Thereby you can make better decisions based on God’s
will.  Think about how much your faith will grow by studying the bible for
several hours each day!

The supportive fellowship makes you bolder in sharing your faith with others,
demonstrating God’s love and power. The teachers are training you, challenging
you, and coaching you. You minister alongside them and learn by following them
as they are following Christ.


WHY ATTEND BIBLE SCHOOL?

You will benefit from your year at Bible school for the rest of your life. You
can afford to wait one year before you continue with further education or start
working. Be trained so you can learn to defend your faith. Know the truth so you
can stand in faith through the challenges of life. You need to be aware that you
are in a spiritual battle. When Jesus was tempted he answered by quoting God’s
word.  Jesus says that Mary has chosen the good part when she sits down and
listens to his words (Luke 10:42). This is what Bible school is all about!


WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A CHRISTIAN FOLK HIGH SCHOOL AND THE BIBLE
SCHOOL?

The folk high schools primarily help you to develop your natural gifts (for
instance singing, dancing, sports, photography, etc.), while the Bible school
primarily helps you to grow your relationship with God and trains you to use
your spiritual gifts. 


DO I GET CREDITS?

If you join our Pioneer and leadership program (which requires that you first
have finished the first year or already have completed one year at another Bible
school), we offer you to take one course for free at The Norwegian School of
Leadership and Theology, HLT. You can then earn 10 ECTS.


DO I GET A DIPLOMA?

You will receive a diploma at the end of the year, detailing the subjects that
you have completed and the grades.


IS BIBLE SCHOOL ALSO FOR ADULTS?

You can always grow in your knowledge of God. Although most of the students at
the Bible school are between 18-25 years old, we also have adults and seniors
among our students. God desires the generations to stand together (Malachi 4:6).

EXPLORE NORWAY AS YOU GET TO KNOW YOUR CLASSMATES



Last year we started the autumn semester by hiking to Norway’s highest mountain
top, Galdhøpiggen. This year we visited Norway’s most beautiful mountain valley,
Innerdalen, described as “Spectacular” and “Words cannot describe” on
TripAdvisor, where it gets extremely good reviews.



> «The opportunities to explore pristine and untouched nature is something I’ve
> just never seen in other popular study abroad destinations. I remember that on
> certain hikes in Norway, you could literally drink out of the streams you were
> walking over, so all you needed to bring with you was an empty water bottle –
> that’s the level of nature I’m talking about here.»
> 
> Christopher Mitchell



Norway is on the same latitude as Sibir and Alaska, but is much warmer thanks to
the Gulf Stream from Southern Europe. The average temperatures on the West Cost
is 6 °C.

> “Norway offers the greatest diversity of natural environments in Europe. With
> pristine waterfalls, lush green forests and fjords, majestic ice caves,
> islands and mountains, it is a dream for nature photographers and selfie
> experts.”
> 
> The Californian Abroad

Enjoy free outdoor activities like camping and hiking. Through the Norwegian
Trekking Association (in short DNT) you can get access to cabins all over
Norway. During the summer you can experience the midnight sun in Trondheim where
it never gets dark.
