Tuition fees

Below you will find the tuition fees for the various Bachelor and Master programmes at BI Norwegian Business School.

Self-owned foundation

BI Norwegian Business School is a self-owned, not-for-profit foundation with a sole focus on education and research. Any profit will be used to strengthen BI's research and learning environment in line with the school's objectives.

Tuition fees

Tuition fees for our study programmes are published on the individual programme pages when a programme is open for applications. Fees are also available here on the tuition fees page. The tuition fee is stated per academic year, while invoicing takes place per semester. Tuition fees are adjusted annually in line with the rate of inflation.

Included in the tuition fee

Tuition fees include lectures and standard examination fees. Re-sit fees are not included. Relevant course literature, support materials, and any course excursions are additional costs.

Programmes with modules or trips abroad or in hotels in Norway

Travel and accommodation expenses will be in addition to the regular tuition fees. They will be invoiced directly by the tour operator, regardless of whether the trip is mandatory or not.

Internal applicants

Internal applicants will be invoiced a reduced tuition fee for the Master of Science. Internal applicants are applicants with a minimum of 120 credits (ECTS) from BI Norwegian Business School. The 120 credits must be passed before the master's programme starts.

International citizens from outside the EU/EEA and Switzerland

Norwegian legislation removed the government subsidy for international students with citizenship from outside the EU/EEA/Switzerland. As a result, full-time students with citizenship from outside the EU/EEA/Switzerland pay a 30% tuition fee differential.

Some students with citizenship from outside the EU/EEA and Switzerland may qualify for an exemption based on their residence status in Norway or other eligibility criteria. Read more about eligibility and how to apply for an exemption.

The tuition fee differential does not apply to exchange students from our partner institutions.

Estimated living expenses

The national estimate for student living expenses in Norway is NOK 170 368 for the 2026–27 academic year, in addition to tuition fees.

Students who require a study permit must document sufficient funds to cover their living expenses and any applicable tuition fees.

Re-sit fee

The examination fee for the first exam attempt is typically included in the tuition fee. Re-sit examinations are subject to a fee if there is no documentation of a legitimate absence from a previous exam by the specified deadlines or failure to withdraw from a prior exam by the specified deadlines.

The re-sit fee is paid separately and is currently NOK 330 per credit (ECTS) for the 2026/2027 academic year.

Student Welfare Organisations

In addition to tuition fees, all full-time students are obligated to pay a membership fee to the Student Welfare Organisation at their place of study (their invoice will include this).

Part-time students can choose to pay a membership fee to the Student Welfare Organisation:
