My girlfriend is currently studying to be a teacher. In order to be accepted to study teaching, you need to have two subjects which you have studied at university which you can teach. For her, it's Norwegian and History. In addition, you will need to be able to speak Norwegian (unless, perhaps, if you teach at an international school, but these are few and far between).

There are two kinds of teachers in Norway, those who have bachelors, and those who have masters. A teacher with a masters is on a higher pay-grade than those with a bachelors.

If you have any specific questions, I can pass them on to my partner and see what she thinks.
