Norad’s Programme for Master Studies

Norad's Programme for Master Studies (NOMA) provides financial support for developing and running Master’s degree programmes in developing countries through equal partnerships between local and Norwegian higher education institutions.

The programme is financed by the Norwegian Agency for Development Cooperation (Norad) and managed by SIU.

The overall goal of NOMA is to contribute to the education of staff in public and private sectors as well as civil society in selected developing countries through building capacity at the Master’s level in higher education institutions in the south

Who may apply?

Higher education institutions in selected countries in the South can participate in NOMA if they are fully recognized by the national authorities (see NOMA Programme Document for details).

Norwegian institutions that offer accredited degrees at Master’s level and are members of the Norwegian Association of Higher Education Institutions (UHR) are eligible for NOMA participation.

The main contract partners in the South are expected to actively collaborate with public and private organisations in their countries to develop the proposed study programmes.

Based on the current Norwegian development priorities and identified needs of the cooperating countries, the following are the eligible thematic areas for the NOMA programme:
