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.
