Main content
The Norwegian Ministry of Education and Research has proposed amendments to the Universities and Colleges Act so that students from countries outside the EEA and Switzerland (so-called third countries) will have to pay at least cost-covering tuition fees at Norwegian universities and colleges — starting autumn semester 2023.
What consequences will the provision have for UiB, with regard to both practical and principled aspects?
