Documentation of financing

Applicants who do not provide satisfactory documentation of financing within the application deadline will be rejected regardless of academic qualifications.

Who must document financing

Citizens of countries outside EU/EEA-area and Switzerland must document their ability to finance their stay in Norway. The Norwegian Immigration Authorities require that students can provide a minimum amount of money required to cover living expenses for one academic year in Norway.

Required amount

NOK 90 800 (approx. 11 600 EUR) for applicants to the Bachelor programmes, and the 2-year Master's degree programmes.
NOK 136 200 (approx. 17 500 EUR) for applicants to the 1 1/2-year Master's degree programmes.

How should financing be documented

Financing must be documented in one of the following ways:

• A recent official bank statement/transcript in the applicants name.
• A sponsor guarantee letter + sponsor’s recent official bank statement/transcript. The sponsor should be aware that the required sum must be available as soon as the applicant is admitted. Further information for sponsors is available here.

Tuition fees

Since the University of Oslo is a state university and therefore publicly funded, there are no tuition fees. See also our pages about How to finance your studies and Budget and cost of living.
