Study in Norway: International Student Guide
Research-led education known for sustainability, maritime studies, energy and technology.
Overview
Norway offers recognised European higher education across universities and professionally oriented institutions. This planning guide does not replace institution or immigration instructions.
Why Study Here
Key attractions include strong research in energy, marine sciences, sustainability, technology and social sciences, with most English choice at postgraduate level.
Academic Requirements
Applicants should expect national general entry plus programme prerequisites; relevant degree, credits and grades for master's entry. The institution makes the final admission decision.
Language Requirements
English-taught programmes normally require an accepted English test; locally taught programmes require the relevant national language. Scores and exemptions are institution-specific.
Financial Requirements
Plan for nationality- and programme-specific tuition, high living costs, semester welfare fees, deposits, insurance and permit fees. Do not rely on part-time work as guaranteed funding.
Proof of Funds
Applicants should document UDI's current annual living amount and tuition arrangement, often through an institutional deposit. Use recent, traceable evidence and the exact current official checklist.
Family Info
Family rights are not automatic. Eligibility depends on residence status, relationship evidence, housing, insurance and extra funds; each family member normally applies separately.
Work Info
For work during study, non-EU/EEA/Swiss permits normally allow up to 20 hours weekly during study and full-time in holidays. Study must remain the main purpose of residence.
Important Notes
The official portal lists 2026–27 living costs of NOK 15,488 monthly or NOK 170,368 yearly; reconfirm when applying. Requirements can change, so recheck official sources before every submission.
