Costs and scholarships
In Norway the best education is free. The core Norwegian cultural values of fairness and equality combined with the benefit of the wealth provided by North Sea oil, has led to the state in Norway funding a high quality higher education sector. The Norwegian government sets high standards for educational institutions to follow in return for covering their costs.
No application, admission or tuition fees
As a member of the Norwegian Council for Higher Education Council, NHH does not charge any application, admission or tuition fees to international students for the MSc in International Business or the Master in Energy, Natural Resources and the Environment.
A result of this distinctly Norwegian funding arrangement is that demand for places is high. As resources are not limitless, high admission standards ensure that although the best is free in Norway, only the best students get in.
Once admitted, students are required to pay a small welfare fee to the students association of approximately 700 NOK each semester. This fee must be paid before students register for classes.
Working while studying
Many students opt to work alongside their studies. A student residence permit does not confer the right to take full-time, permanent employment in Norway. However, students automatically receive a permit to work part-time and/or during vacations along with their residence permit, as long as the employment would not interfere with their study progress. Students can also apply for full-time employment for a restricted period of time.
Scholarships
Although NHH itself does not directly provide any funding to students, a number of scholarships are available from partner organisations to successful applicants to the MSc in International Business or the Master in Energy, Natural Resources and the Environment from a number of different countries.
