How and when do I pay the tuition fees?
Admitted students will receive information about the precise tuition fee alongside the offer of admission.Â
The tuition fee must be paid in full and cannot be paid in instalments. When we have received your payment, we will issue a confirmation you can use to apply for your study permit/student residence permit. If you withdraw from your study place by 1 September, you can apply for a refund of your tuition fee payment. Â
Can I apply for an exemption?
Some students will be exempt from paying tuition fees based on residence in Norway or other close connections with Norway. Applications are processed based on the universities and colleges act and national regulations on education support.Â
Students who have accepted an offer of admission, may apply for an exemption. For further information, see Exemption from paying tuition fees.
Documentation of funding for study permit
Students from countries outside the EU/EEA/EFTA must, in addition to paying tuition fees, document to have sufficient funding for living costs in Norway. This is required in your application for a study permit to the Norwegian Directorate of Immigration. Potential students applying to ºÚÁϳԹÏ×ÊÔ´ are therefore required to document funding in their application for admission.
Most students will finance all or most of their living costs with a student loan from their home country, with savings, or with support from a sponsor or relatives. ºÚÁϳԹÏ×ÊÔ´ does not offer any scholarships to cover tuition fees.
Scholarships and cost of living
The University of Bergen does not offer any scholarships. The website Study in Norway presents an for international students who would like to study in Norway.
