Opening a pharamcy in Oslo and recognize my degree

Hello,

For a first time, you need to recognize your degree to be able continue in master (all info are indicated on the Norwegian universities).

Also, it is strongly probably you need to speak well Norwegian. Lessons of Norwegian language are available in all Norwegian universities.

Be careful, Norway is a very expensive country. The most expensive of Europe (accomodation, food, transports, tv, internet, and all needs. Try to go in another Norwegian town to spare).

Good luck.

Firstly Thanks for the reply I really appreciate it
I am learning the language right now
thanks
but do you have any more information?

it doesn't seem like the page with regulations about opening your own pharmacy is available in English. Here it is in Norwegian though (this is the Norwegian medicine agency so they are the government authority):

https://legemiddelverket.no/import-og-s … eprosessen

It seems that many people who open pharmacies choose to do it under one of the many chains here though, rather than a completely independent pharmacy. Here's one of the chains that seems to be the most popular for new pharmacies to join:

https://www.dittapotek.no/c/etablering- … tek/a/A101

BTW, there are definitely a lot of foreigners working in pharmacies. In my neighborhood, we have 3 pharmacies, and there are non-native Norwegian speakers in all of them.
