Norway is a Great Place to Study

Norway is a Great Place to Study

Diversity is one of the key assets of Norway's internationally renowned educational system, with over 15,000 foreign nationals enrolling in its universities.

Admission and education

Courses in Norway often begin in August. Universities establish their application deadlines between December 1 and March 15 of the previous year, with certain schools having "pre-qualification" deadlines. If you intend to study in Norway, start your research as soon as possible to avoid missing application deadlines.

Universities establish academic and formal admission requirements. If you want to apply for a Master's degree in Norway, you may need to show that you have completed at least one-and-a-half years of studies in a related field.

What is the cost of studying in Norway?

In Norway, public universities normally do not charge tuition fees. The student association charges a fee to join, which also covers the cost of the end-of-semester tests. However, it will not cost you more than 600 NOK (around 60 euros). These costs also come with a slew of perks, including on-campus health care, counseling, and access to sports facilities, as well as discounted public transportation and cultural activities. Because private colleges are not subsidised by the government, they are free to impose tuition costs that are typically comparable to those in other European nations. International students, on the other hand, will never pay more than Norwegian students.

How much does it cost to live in Norway?

However, just because you can study for free in Norway does not mean that student living in this Scandinavian country is cheap. In fact, Norway is one of the most costly places in Europe in terms of living costs, which may easily outweigh the savings on tuition.

Nature

Aside from its high educational standards, Norway provides a one-of-a-kind experience for nature enthusiasts. You'll never be far from the coast, with its stunning fjords; you'll never be far from awe-inspiring climbing and skiing hot places; and you'll get to enjoy the midnight sun in the summer and exhilarating snowy winters.
