Public education
”Education for all” is the basic principle of the Norwegian educational system. The system of higher education comprises all the institutions and/or programmes that are accredited. With the exception of some private institutions of higher educataion, all universities and university colleges are state-run.
No tuition fees
The majority of Norwegian institutions of higher education are publicly funded. Thus, there are normally no tuition fees at state universities and university colleges in Norway. This also applies to foreign students, no matter which country you come from. Nevertheless, fees may be charged for certain professional education programmes and special programmes, and by some of the private institutions.
However, students will have to pay a semester fee of NOK 300-600 each semester. This fee also grants you membership in the local student welfare organisation, which in turn entitles you to several benefits. These benefits may include on campus health services, counselling, access to sports facilities and cultural activities.
Payment of the semester fee is also necessary to get an official student card that, among other things, gives you reduced fares on most forms of public transport and lower ticket prices to various cultural events.
Programmes and courses with tutition fees
Most private institutions have tuition fees for all their programmes 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.
State universities and university colleges may have tuition fees for a few specialized programmes. Typically, these programmes are at the Masters level.
