For adult immigrants aspiring to become Norwegian citizens, passing the Social Studies Test (Samfunnskunnskapsprøven) is a key milestone. Alongside meeting the language proficiency requirements at the Norwegian B1 level (oral), successfully completing this test is a mandatory step in the citizenship application process. At NLS Norwegian Language School in Oslo, we have designed a Norwegian Social Studies course to prepare you thoroughly for this challenge. With expert guidance, a structured syllabus, and resources tailored to your needs, this course is your gateway to understanding Norwegian society and achieving your citizenship dreams.
Why Is the Norwegian Social Studies Test Important?
The Social Studies Test evaluates your knowledge of essential aspects of Norwegian society, including its history, political structure, and social norms. It ensures that those seeking citizenship have a foundational understanding of the country’s values, responsibilities, and opportunities. This test is conducted in Norwegian, which also underscores the importance of language proficiency. By combining our Social Studies course with language practice, students can simultaneously strengthen their Norwegian skills while mastering the course content.
