Costs and living
Tuition: since autumn 2023, bachelor’s and master’s students from outside the EU/EEA and Switzerland pay fees set by each institution; PhD candidates, exchange students and students on Erasmus Mundus, NORPART, NORHED, StAR or Fulbright are exempt. Yearly examples: • University of Oslo 2027–28: NOK 186,000–218,000. • University of Bergen 2027–28: NOK 204,000–234,000. • NTNU 2026–27: mostly NOK 176,300 or 205,600 (medicine about NOK 528,650). • NHH 2026–27: master’s NOK 204,000, bachelor’s NOK 142,000; BI master’s from NOK 166,700. • Lower-cost options: NMBU NOK 80,000–150,000 (2027–28) and University of Stavanger NOK 60,000–85,000 (2026–27). In 2026 the Storting removed the rule that fees must cover the full cost of education, and some institutions have started cutting fees. Add a semester fee to the student welfare organisation of roughly NOK 600–1,000. Scholarships: the universities of Oslo and Bergen, NTNU, NMBU, UiT and NHH offer no tuition scholarships; the private BI Norwegian Business School awards merit scholarships. Living costs: the Directorate of Immigration (UDI) requires at least NOK 15,488 a month, or NOK 170,368 for the 2026–27 academic year, and Oslo is more expensive than other cities.
Working while studying
A study permit automatically lets you work up to 20 hours a week, including remote work, and full time during holidays, but you may not be self-employed or run a business. Wages are high, but part-time jobs are easier to find if you speak Norwegian, so do not rely on work to pay tuition or living costs. Time on a study permit does not count towards permanent residence. After graduation: you can apply for a job-seeker residence permit for up to one year, provided you completed your degree in Norway and apply before your study permit expires (ideally at least a month before), with NOK 28,448 a month (NOK 341,373 a year) of your own funds. During this time you may work in any job while looking for skilled work, then switch to a skilled-worker permit.
