Who this guide is for

Applicants preparing study or research in Norway. UDI pages define permit rules; university admission pages define academic rules — both must be satisfied.

Study permits and living costs

A study permit is tied to admission. Tuition coverage (or free tuition at public universities for some cycles) does not remove the need to show how you will live. Use UDI’s current subsistence figures.

Language

Many master’s programmes teach in English and list accepted tests. Norwegian is often needed for daily life and some jobs — treat programme language and life language as separate plans.
