What this tells a student deciding on Norway
A high graduate employment rate means the labour market absorbs new graduates quickly — the single most
useful signal when you cannot see salaries. Norway
sits above the European median on this measure.
Public spending per student is the closest thing Europe has to a teaching-quality figure. It is not a fee:
what an international student pays is set by each university and by your nationality, and no European body
publishes it centrally. That is why these pages do not quote a price — and why the US and Canadian pages on
this site do.

Norway: common questions

92% of recent graduates aged 20–34 are employed and no longer studying (2025), ranking Norway 5 of 34 European countries.
How many international students go to Norway?
94 students came from abroad to study at tertiary level (2024).
How much does Norway spend per student?
€31,371 a year of public money per tertiary student (2023). Where the state spends heavily, domestic tuition is usually low — international fees are set separately.
Can you tell me what a degree in Norway costs?
Not from official European data — Eurostat publishes no tuition series, and fees differ by university, programme and nationality. Check the university page directly; for the US and Canada we do publish exact fees, because those governments release them.
