At UiS, the academic calendar is divided into two semesters. However, tuition fees are calculated per year. At UiS, education is free for everyone, both in Norwegian and English. But for admission to such programs, you should know the language at least at a B2 level. Students should only pay a semester fee — 139 USD per year. Check the university website for up-to-date information on prices and available scholarships.
It is necessary to pay attention to other costs: accommodation, transportation, study materials, food, and personal expenses.
You cannot enter university in Norway after the 11th grade, as school education here lasts longer. Applicants need to eliminate the academic difference. There are two ways to do this: either study for a year at a university in your home country, or complete one of the preparatory programs (A-Levels, Foundation, etc.).

UiS campus
The campus of the educational institution is suburban. It combines the features of a rural and urban campus. Students live separately from the city and create a close-knit community. At the same time, they are not very far from the city and have access not only to urban entertainment, such as cinemas and restaurants, but also to outdoor activities. The university students have access to the library. It is an integral part of learning. Students come here for educational literature or to do their homework. Thanks to international exchange programs at UiS, students can communicate with representatives of different countries and nationalities and thus expand their own horizons. And, the university contributes to this by regularly holding joint events for local and foreign students.
Norway allows university graduates to stay in the country for one more year. Graduates can spend this time looking for a job in order to change their visa to a work one. Look for more immigration options in our article.
