Norway is becoming a popular study destination among international students. An increasing number of Norwegian universities and university colleges are offering Bachelor's and Masters programs in English.

It is one of the few remaining countries in the world where tuition fee is free for everyone including international students. The Norwegian Government also offers scholarship programs to cover living costs in Norway.

Tuition Free Universities in Norway:
Norwegian state universities and state university colleges as a rule do not charge tuition fees for international students. However, students will need to pay a semester fee of NOK 300-600 ($50-100) each semester. This is applicable for all levels, including undergraduate studies, Masters programs and PhD programs. Note that some state universities and university colleges may have tuition fees for a few specialized programs. Typically these programs are at the Masters level.

Most private institutions charge tuition fees for all their programs and courses. But the fees are usually significantly lower than those of comparable studies in most other countries. Also, foreign students don't pay higher tuition fees than Norwegian students. See the list of Tuition Free State Universities and Colleges in Norway.

Norwegian Government/EU Scholarships for International Students:
he Quota Scheme awards scholarships for students from developing countries and countries in Eastern Europe and Central Asia through the Quota Scheme. The objective of the scheme is to promote the internationalization of higher education. The scheme normally includes courses taught in English at Masters and PhD level, in addition to certain professional degrees. Each student receives the same amount of money as a Norwegian student would do in an equivalent educational program. About 30 per cent of the amount is given as a grant and 70 per cent as a loan. However, the loan portion is waived when the student returns to his/her home country after completing the course of study.
