Suitability for the profession
As a University College, we are required to assess the suitability of students enrolled in programs covered by the Regulations to the University and College Act.
A suitability assessment is a comprehensive evaluation of the student's academic, pedagogical, and personal qualities to determine whether they are able to practice their chosen profession. It considers whether a student may pose a potential risk to the life, physical or mental health, rights, or safety of those they encounter during field practice or in their future role.
The purpose of suitability assessment is to protect vulnerable individuals and groups.
Required medical testing
If, during the past three years, you have spent at least three months in a country with a high incidence of tuberculosis and are going on a placement, you must undergo tuberculosis testing.
A list of countries with a high incidence of tuberculosis can be found on the website of the Norwegian Institute of Public Health - Helsedirektoratet
It is your responsibility to complete the test and submit the test results to NLA University College.
