non-English speaking countries are required to have passed the TOEFL test with at least 575 points for

Administration does not charge any application or tuition fee. However, the students have to pay a
small welfare fee, approximately NOK 680,- each semester.

Financial aid
Please note that the Norwegian School of Economics and Business Administration does not offer any
scholarships or other forms of financial support. Such assistance must be arranged by the students
through official channels in their home country, or through some international organizations.
However, citizens from some Central and Eastern European, Central Asian and developing countries
who undergo education in Norway may be granted financial aid from "Lånekassen" (the State
Educational Loan Fund in Norway) through the Quota programme. The aim of the programme is to
provide students from these countries with relevant knowledge that can benefit their home countries
when they return home after completing their studies.
For students to be eligible for the Quota programme they must come from an educational institution in
one of the countries covered by the programme with which NHH have an exchange
agreement. Information about schools that NHH has an agreement with is available at:
http://www.nhh.no/en/study-at-nhh/master-in-international-business/costs-and-scholarships.aspx.
There are also a few reciprocal culture agreements between Norway and various other countries,
including some scholarships for foreign students. For further information, please contact your
country's Ministry of Foreign Affairs or the local Norwegian Embassy.
