      Hi, University of Oslo is no longer free for international students, and they don’t offer any scholarships at the moment unfortunately. We will update this page if University of Oslo do start offer scholarships.

      Hello, I don’t think University of Oslo offers bachelor’s in nursing looking at their program page. Try best nursing schools at Norway to find nursing degrees.

    My CGPA is 2.6 what are my chances of getting an admission and a scholarship in medical physics

    • Hyun Lee September 17, 2023 at 4:36 pm - Reply

      Given the limited information that you’ve given me, your chances are very low in getting an admissions; also, University of Oslo stopped giving free tuition to international students this year.

      Hello, University of Oslo does not offer any scholarship anymore for international students and will start charging tuition this year. Unfortunately, you will have to look at other countries than Norway. Please check out Scholarship Database for other scholarships.

          I suggest Asian countries like China, Korea, and Japan, and also tuition free countries for international students like Germany

    Hello, I am interested to learn MSC degree in water Resource Engineering and I have GPA 3.45 in BSc. How can I get full information?

    • Hyun Lee September 25, 2023 at 12:14 pm - Reply

      Hello, you can check the University of Oslo if they offer MSC in Water Resource Engineering. I don’t think that they do when I did a quick search. Water Resource Management is such a niche subject that you might have trouble finding which institutions offer that subject. I highly recommend that you search these top universities in Norway and see if they offer it.

      Hello according to University of Oslo’s medical school page, bachelor’s in medicine is almost entirely taught in Norwegian, and students are expected to be fully proficient in Norwegian at the start of the program. The application procedures are also entirely in Norwegian; if you are proficient in Norwegian, you can take a look at their application procedure page.

    Hello, I have a masters degree in Business Administration. I want to study for a master in Business Analysis. How is that possible?

    • Hyun Lee February 16, 2024 at 4:23 pm - Reply

      Not sure what you mean by “How is that possible.” You can apply and get accepted to study master in Business Analysis. You should make sure that the University of Oslo offers that degree first though.

    Hey Hyun lee, I have read that there is free higher education in Norway, but I can’t find any Accountancy related bachelor’s degree for free for international students, like I am from Pakistan currently enrolled in ACCA

    • Hyun Lee July 24, 2024 at 8:40 am - Reply

      Hello, Norway is no longer free for international students. It used to be but not any more. For countries that are still tuition fee, there’s Germany.

      It’s same with other nationalities. You have to see which projects are available in your research area and apply for them

    Can one do a PhD in Public health with fully funded scholarship at the University of Oslo?

  21. Fahad Mukhtar October 2, 2025 at 5:46 am - Reply

    Hi,I want to study Master’s of Science in Physics from the Oslo University in January of February 2026 for free, I am an international student from Pakistan with 3.19 CGPA in Master’s (Have completed 16 years of education) and an IELTS of 6.5 with no less than 6.0.
    Is there any possibility to get admitted on a fully funded or up to maximum funded basis with this profile and the most important thing is how much will be the processing time from Pakistan from admission to the visa?

    • Hyun Lee October 10, 2025 at 4:15 pm - Reply

      Hello, University of Oslo is no longer free, and I don’t believe they have any scholarships for Master’s international students, both the university and the government.

      Hello, probably very little chance to be honest. University of Oslo started charging tuition fees and does not offer scholarships generously now.
