Study in Norway 2026: What to Expect

There are 25 universities in Norway in this list, including Bodo Regional University, Finnmark University College, and Molde University College. This gives international students a set of places to compare when choosing where to study.

In 2023, Norway’s price level was 105% of the US level. That makes day-to-day spending an important part of planning before you move.

Norway’s GDP per capita, measured in PPP dollars, is listed at 92,206. That points to a high-income setting for study and everyday life.

For a newly arrived international student, the first term is likely to begin with choosing among the universities available, settling into a place to live, and getting used to studying in Norway. The country’s university list includes institutions in several places, so location is part of the decision as well.
