Beyond Sweden: Top Tuition Free Universities in Norway & Finland (Part 1)

Sweden has often been the top Scandinavian destination for students around the world to study.
However, recent changes in Sweden’s tuition free study policies, has made it difficult for some students to study there.

So what are the alternatives?

Consider top universities in Norway and Finland!

In this article, we’ll give you fantastic tips to help you uncover what you need to know about the advantages and disadvantages of universities in both Norway & Finland – the other top countries in Scandinavia with world class Universities.

Bonuses for choosing Norway for your further education

• The variety of sport in Norway, especially in winter is fantastic.
• In the summer, there is sunlight all day, great if you suffer with SAD.
• There’s endless beauty all around and plenty excursions to take.
• Norway has a long fascinating history with myths and legends of Vikings.
• Famous artists, composers, actors, and innovative architects hail from Norway.

First, you need to decide in what environment you wish to live, in the city, or near to the coast amongst the beautiful fjords and mountains.

Student permits

You’ll need to get a student residence permit from the UDI, the Norwegian Directorate of Immigration, unless you are just considering summer School for 3 months, in which case you will not need one at all.

Working

Students from outside the EU/EEA/EFTA can apply for a work permit and work for 20 hours a week during term time and full time in semesters or breaks with certain conditions.

Students within the EU/EEA/EFTA automatically get the work permit for 3 months with their student application.

Housing

There are different options for housing
University housing is the cheapest and you will be in the midst of the Universities social life.
You might prefer to live off campus and there are reasonably priced hostels for short term while you look for a permanent residence.

Most of the Norwegian Universities encourage householders to share their homes with foreign students. In this case, you could get lucky and find yourself with a lovely family away from home.

People with rooms, apartments or a house for students to share are encouraged to post them on the notice boards in the Universities for students to study.

Take care when choosing where to live, consider what space you need, what costs are included in the rental, is there a phone, and internet connection?

A tiny room with no desk to spread your projects is no use to you and you will soon feel claustrophobic and lonely.

Healthcare

Healthcare is free to International students staying longer than 3 months.

Cost of living

The cost of living is high in Norway as in all Scandinavian countries.

The bars and restaurants are expensive and close early. Students on a budget cope with this by having ‘vorspiels’ (pre parties) and ‘nachspiels (after parties) in student houses that is a good way to make friends and meet people.

Transport

Public transport in Norway is excellent with trams, buses, trains, subways, and ferries serving all needs.

Students can get monthly passes at discounted fares, or, as many do in the cities, ride a bicycle. This free method of transport is fun and keeps you fit and trim.

Universities

The following four are in the QS World University Rankings and are placed in different parts of the country to help you decide which is best for you.

The University if Oslo is Norway’s oldest University and it is also the largest. It has 30,000 students and boasts four Nobel Prize winners. The BI Norwegian School of Management specialises in business economics and administration, management and marketing.

The University of Bergen…is an urban university. It is divided into two parts, one specialising in medicine and dentistry, the other in natural and social sciences, psychology, law and the arts in the other.

The Norwegian University of Science and Technology…as it infers is a centre for technology but also covers all other subjects, music, visual arts, and architecture.

The University of Tromso…specialises in Women’s studies and Women in Research, Arctic Research, Environment, and Development studies, Saami Health Research, and teacher education.

In the next upcoming editiom, you’ll discover how you can take advantage of this information…along with other tips to help you. So stay tuned!

The challenge is taking the time to sort through all of the possibilities to successfully identify the legitimate opportunities. But there IS hope. Why? Well, while a private college education can cost tens of thousands of dollars, anyone with a little ingenuity and a lot of self motivation and confidence can get their college education at a drastically reduced price and in many cases even for free.

Harvard Tuition Announcement

Harvard University announced over the weekend that from now on undergraduate students from low-income families will pay no tuition. In making the announcement, Harvard’s president Lawrence H. Summers said, “When only ten percent of the students in elite higher education come from families in the lower half of the income distribution, we are not doing enough. We are not doing enough in bringing elite higher education to the lower half of the income distribution. ”

If you know of a family earning less than $60,000 a year with an honor student graduating from high school soon, Harvard University wants to pay the tuition. The prestigious university recently announced that from now on undergraduate students from low-income families can go to Harvard for free… No tuition and no student loans!

FINAL NOTE: Watch your email this month for the subject “Stanford Reply and Special Offer”. It’s taking a while to get the

that EVERYONE can get access to it (even if they have to download it vs. trying to attend live).

I’ve had to put a lot of work into it but you guys are worth it!

To Your Success in 2012 and Beyond,
