UiO offers research-based master's study across mathematical sciences, energy and social sciences. Programme structure and academic prerequisites are the starting point, while its published tuition table distinguishes both subjects and entry years. Norway should not be budgeted on an outdated assumption that all international degrees are tuition-free.

Selected programme examples

  1. Data Science — master's programme
  2. Renewable Energy Systems — master's programme
  3. Economics — master's programme

Admission planning

A little clarity.
A better next step.

Admission planning

Academic eligibility

  • A relevant recognised first degree and programme-specific subject and grade requirements must be documented.
  • UiO directs applicants to the individual programme's admissions page.
  • Data Science combines mathematics, statistics and informatics; Economics has different subject preparation.
  • Check course descriptions, English evidence and country-specific documentation before submitting an application.

Admission planning

Language requirements

  • International master's applicants should verify the selected programme's teaching/examination language and English-evidence rules.
  • Do not infer that an English-language university webpage makes every course or programme at UiO English-taught.
  • Norwegian is a separate consideration for other degree routes and for everyday professional life.

Admission planning

Study intakes

  • UiO's general route for citizens outside the EU/EEA/Switzerland admits once annually for an August start.
  • January admission described for some other applicant groups is not a general second intake for an Indian applicant applying from abroad.

Admission planning

Application deadlines

  • The official non-EU/EEA/Swiss master's route opens on 15 October and closes on 1 December for the following August.
  • Check the actual programme and current application-year portal; joint programmes can use separate calendars.
  • Choices cannot be added or changed after the deadline.

Admission planning

International tuition

  • UiO's official annual tuition table lists Data Science and Renewable Energy Systems at NOK 295,000 for 2026/27 and NOK 218,000 for 2027/28; Economics is NOK 204,000 and NOK 186,000 respectively.
  • These rates apply to fee-liable students outside the EU/EEA/Switzerland, with documented exemptions possible.
  • Confirm the precise offer and annual adjustment rather than carry an old rate forward.

Admission planning

Scholarships & funding

  • UiO's tuition guidance explicitly states that it does not offer scholarships covering tuition fees.
  • International Summer School awards are a different short-course scheme and must not be advertised as funding for a full two-year master's.
  • Secure an independent funding plan before accepting an offer.
