Tuition Fees Admission Autumn 2023

Tuition fees

In December 2022 the Norwegian Government decided to introduce tuition fees for international students coming from outside of EU/EEA and Switzerland from the academic year 2023/2024. This means that those who plan to start their study in August 2023 will be required to pay tuition fee for their studies (on the condition that the required amendment to the Norwegian Universities Act will be adopted by the Storting, the Norwegian parliament, in May 2023).

The price per academic year (two semesters) for each programme is available at Tuition fees for the academic year 2023/2024 | University of Stavanger (uis.no) .

The tuition fee comes on top of the 128 887 NOK (subject to change) which is required by the immigration authorities as a proof of your financial ability to cover your living expenses in Norway. Visa and Study Permit | University of Stavanger (uis.no).
