Studying in Norway as an international student

Public universities were tuition-free for everyone until autumn 2023, when fees were introduced for students from outside the EU/EEA and Switzerland. These are country-level figures for a typical bachelor's at a public university (2025–26 academic year) — not a quote for this university, which sets its own fees.

per year, approx. USD
Typical living costs
$14,000–$18,000
per year, approx. USD
Who pays less
EU/EEA and Swiss nationals still pay no tuition — only a small semester fee.
Funding routes
Institution-specific scholarships; Norway has no large national scheme for fee-paying internationals.
