Negotiation Posted May 1, 2014 Report Share Posted May 1, 2014 As far as I know, mostly, the courses will be in the country's language. There are some classes available in English, but there are very few degrees taught solely in English.You can, however, take a year at a Norwegian language course to learn Norwegian. 1 Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dniviE Posted May 1, 2014 Report Share Posted May 1, 2014 @Negotiation is correct. If you really want to study in Norway though, you could do a Norwegian course for a year (I know that they have this at NTNU since my Portuguese girlfriend considered applying to NTNU).There is also a good webpage with lots of information and links about stuydying in Norway -> http://studyinnorway.no/Good luck and please do contact any of the Norwegians on IBS if you want more information (I can answer questions, but do not expect me to reply within less than 48 hours)! 2 Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cryphisss Posted May 1, 2014 Report Share Posted May 1, 2014 There are courses in English + there are some universities which are completely focused/based on English. Since you are in EU, Swedish universities will be free as well. I am not sure about Norway. I like both countries. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
alefal Posted May 1, 2014 Report Share Posted May 1, 2014 Hey there!Most higher education institutes in Norway are free, as they are publicly funded, so tuition fees will not be an issue (unless you end up at one of the private institutions). There is no discrimination between Norwegians and non-Norwegians in this respect.As far as I know, most undergraduate degrees in Norway are in Norwegian, whereas quite a few postgraduate degrees (Master's, PhD) are taught in English. This means that you'll have to do some research on whether or not any of the Norwegian institutions you would consider actually offer Economics in English at the undergraduate level. If there are no such courses in the institutions you'd prefer, then either the Norwegian language course dniviE mentioned or the English-language universities in Sweden Cryphisss mentioned would be your two options. Good luck! Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Babydolleyes Posted May 1, 2014 Report Share Posted May 1, 2014 I too, really wanted (and want) to study in English and I didn't find much to my liking in Sweden or Norway. I would like to point out, although it is kind of off topic that Denmark has a LOT more English bachelor (and master) degrees to choose from and over 20 bachelor degrees concerning economics (at Copenhagen Business School). I've already applied to International Business and Politics there. You can see all the programmes available here if you are interested http://www.ug.dk/Programmes/universityprogrammes/bachelordegreeprogrammes/socialscienceandeconomicsprogrammes.aspxUni is free, and you even get money from the government each month for studying full time. You can also work up to 60 hours per month alongside school and your monthly income from the government, so it's very easy to be independent in Denmark during your studies. Yay for no student loans! Plus you get to go on a free exchange abroad for one semester, once during your bachelors and again during your masters. The universities have connections all over the world, it is quite impressive if you ask me.I highly recommend checking it out. PM me if you have any questions. 2 Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
FreddyTaco Posted July 30, 2014 Report Share Posted July 30, 2014 My sister studies Business Administration at the University of Stavanger. She told me all of the masters degree classes are in English, while the Bachelors degree classes are mostly in Norwegian, but there are some in English aswell Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
