Self-financing
Students who will either pursue an undergraduate degree or an International Master's Programme at NTNU and who are not eligible for a fellowship or scholarship programme, are welcome at NTNU provided they can pay their living expenses. Please note, there are no tuition fee at NTNU!
Minimum funding requirements
Regulations from the Norwegian Directorate of Immigration state that all international students who are not citizens of EU/EEA/EFTA countries need to apply for a residence permit for students (www.udi.no). This means that applicants for the undergraduate or international master's programmes at NTNU under the Individual funding category must document their funding source(s) (presently a minimum of NOK 90 800 per academic year) in their application. Even though an international Master's programme has a duration of two years, applicants only need to document funding for one year in their application.
How to provide documentation
In your application for admission to an international Master's programme, you may document financing by means of a bank statement and a letter of confirmation from your sponsor, but The Norwegian Directorate of Immigration will only accept confirmation of scholarships or grants or bank guarantees from a Norwegian bank.
Students in the "individual funding category" who are admitted to an international master's programme will be requested to transfer NOK 90 800 to NTNU's deposit account before their arrival in Norway. This deposit is for covering life expences only (NTNU does not have a tuition fee). The money will be transferred to the student's Norwegian bank account once the student has opened one. Information about the practical arrangements for transferring the money to the Norwegian bank account will be provided along with the admissions letter.
