Applicants from outside the EU/EEA and Switzerland will receive payment instructions for the tuition fee after accepting the offer of admission. Payment instructions will be sent to the applicants registered email in the beginning of May.
It can take up to three weeks for the university to register the payment, depending on the bank connection. When the university has registered the payment, we will send a confirmation which can be used as documentation when applying for a student residence permit.
Norway has strict rules when it comes to bank transfers between countries, in accordance with the Act relating to Measures to Combat Money Laundering and Terrorist Financing (the Anti-Money Laundering Act). The tuition fee must be paid by yourself, from your own bank account. If someone is sponsoring you they have to transfer the required amount to your bank account, so you can make the payment yourself. The only exception is if your sponsor is a person who lives in Norway and has a Norwegian bank account. It can be complicated to refund the money (if necessary) if the payment comes from another person, who may be staying in another country. In principle, the tuition fee cannot be paid by a company or an organization. If you receive a scholarship from an organization and the tuition fee is to be paid by that organization, you must contact us for clarification.
The tuition fee can be paid through separate transactions, but the tuition fee must be paid in full before each academic year. It is not possible to pay the tuition fee in installments. The semester fee for autumn and spring semester is included in the tuition fee.
PLEASE NOTE: Tuition fee must NOT be transferred to the deposit account for living expences.
