Norway

Country: Norway

Students from the EU/EEA and Switzerland pay no tuition at public institutions, only a semester fee such as NOK 670 at UiT, while others pay – e.g. NOK 100,500–351,000 a year at UiT. The Study in Norway portal lists 11 universities, and EU/EEA citizens can work without restrictions. Find out what the official estimate of NOK 15,488 a month means for your budget and how to get student housing.

Norway has no government scholarships for all international students – you need to finance your studies in other ways. Your options:

Erasmus+ – a semester or a year in Norway as part of an exchange with your home university,
Erasmus Mundus – joint master's programmes run by several universities, with scholarships for the whole programme,
the Norwegian State Educational Loan Fund, Lånekassen – EU/EEA citizens can get support if they have worker status and keep working at least 10 hours a week during their studies. Other routes are work related to your field of study, permanent right of residence (after at least 5 years in Norway) or being a family member of an EU/EEA worker.
