Financing and scholarships

NTNU offers all students, no matter their financial situation, a distinct advantage over many other universities in Europe and North America: there are no tuition fees here.

However, students do need to cover their living expenses, including housing, books, food and travel. What follows is a list of the main funding alternatives available to international students.

Fees

NTNU does not charge tuition fees, even for international students. This is true of all Norwegian universities. Students may be required to pay a semester fee, but this typically amounts to less than 500 NOK per semester.
