    Additional Considerations

    International students are advised to begin the application process well in advance to ensure all requirements are met timely. It's also essential to prepare for living expenses in Norway, which can be relatively high compared to other countries. While UiS offers a limited number of scholarships for master's students from selected partner institutions outside the EU/EEA, applicants are encouraged to explore external funding opportunities or part-time work options, keeping in mind the regulations governing student employment in Norway.

    For the most accurate and up-to-date information, always refer to UiS's official admissions page or contact their International Admissions Office.
