As in many other universities in the country, the academic calendar at NHH is divided into two semesters. But for convenience, tuition fees are calculated per year. Norwegian education is free at all public universities. That's why you don't have to worry about paying tuition fees during your study at NHH. Students only pay a semester fee, which is about 143 USD per year. The university provides tuition assistance to some students through financial aid programs. They are available to both locals and foreigners. Check the university website for up-to-date information on prices and 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, IB, Foundation, etc.). Before applying to the university, you need to pass an exam for knowledge of the English language. The university accepts the results of IELTS, PTE or TOEFL. The IB diploma is accepted upon admission.
NHH campus
The campus of NHH is located in Bergen. This is a fairly large city that opens up many opportunities for students: from cafes, restaurants and other entertainment to internships at large companies. But an urban campus can also be a disadvantage, because big city life distracts some students from their studies. The school has a library where students can do their homework or just relax. Foreigners who come to NHH through exchange programs study and live with local students. Thus, the university promotes intercultural exchange and the establishment of interethnic relations.
Students are allowed to stay in the country for a year after graduation. To do this, you need to extend your student visa or apply for a job seeker visa. We talk about other options for immigration in our article.
