Norad’s Programme for Master Studies (NOMA)
NOMA is a programme for providing financial support to develop and run Master Degree Programmes in the South through collaboration between local and Norwegian Higher Education Institutions.
Overall objectives
- To support the development of Master programmes at higher education institutions in the South through close collaboration with higher education institutions in Norway, in accordance with national needs.
- To achieve, in a longer term perspective, sustainable capacity of institutions in the South to provide the national workforce with adequate qualifications within selected academic fields of study.
- To stimulate South-South-North cooperation through supporting the development of regional Master programmes.
- To enhance gender equality in all programme activities.
- To strengthen and further develop the competence of Norwegian higher education institutions to integrate global, as well as developmental perspectives, in their professional work.
Norad’s Programme for Master Studies (NOMA) aims to promote development in the South by helping to develop and establish Master Programmes. The overall aim is to educate new and existing to serve the public and private sectors in the south, as well as NGOs.
Admission requirements vary, but in general only candidates from eligible countries, who are employed in a relevant sector and receive a leave of absence from their employer, may apply for a NOMA scholarship. Please contact the institutions in questions for specific admission requirements.
NOMA differs from the Norad Fellowship Programme, which it replaces, in that the bulk of activities are located to Higher Education Institutions in the South. This transfer of responsibility encompasses student related matters, including applications. Prospective and existing NOMA students are encouraged to contact the relevant institution(s) directly.

Thanks for this web site and the info. I am a ugandan citizen looking for a scholarship in relation to gender studies. I did B.A social sciences with a bias in gender subjects, did a post graduate diploma in project planning and management and I have worked for 4 years now in a gender-based violence project. I have challenges in pursuing a masters programme but I want to upgrade for the benefits of my community and society at large. will i then be taken for the next scholarship intake(2012)?
Thanks.
