FINANCING YOUR STUDIES

Education in Norwegian public universities is normally tuition free. However, students must pay a registration fee of approx. NOK 700,- each semester. International students applying for a resident permit (student visa) must document to the Norwegian Immigration Authorities (UDI) that they possess the necessary funds for their stay in Norway, either by private funding or by scholarships. Applicants must document that they have NOK 91.000,- per year to cover their living expenses in Norway. Since only a very limited number of scholarships are available, applicants should be prepared to apply as self-financing students. Self-financing students are required to transfer the deposit of NOK 91.000,- within the end of May 2012 at the Student Deposit Bank Account in Stavanger.
