Financing and scholarships
NTNU offers all students 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 own living expenses. Furthermore, all international students who are not citizens of EU/EEA/EFTA countries must be able to document that they have enough funding to live in Norway in order to be granted a student visa.
What follows is a list of the main funding alternatives available to international students.
| Programme | Funding type | Eligibility | Amount/what is covered |
|---|---|---|---|
| Self-financed | All students | Must cover all living expenses in Norway with a minimum of NOK 97 850 per school year (correct for 2014/2015) | |
| Grant and loans | Master's and PhDs | Living expenses, travel/fieldwork costs, and family expenses | |
| Erasmus Mundus | Scholarships | Erasmus Mundus students | Varies depending upon the programme |
| Other programmes | Grants and scholarships | Master's and PhDs | Varies depending upon the programme |
