Self financed

Thorbjørn Gilberg

If you are accepted as a student at UMB without a scholarship you should provide the necessary funds yourself.

To obtain a residence permit for study in Norway 3 minimum conditions must be fulfilled:

- Admission
- Guarantee of accommodation
- Guarantee of financial support i.e. NOK 80,000 per year

Contact your nearest Norwegian Embassy/Consulate for further information or visit the Directorate of Immigration website.

The documentation of financial support accepted by the immigration authorities is that of funds placed in a Norwegian bank account in the student's own name or university account,

To facilitate this process, the university offers a service whereby NOK 80,000 can be transferred to the university bank account. After the student has arrived in Norway and opened a bank account, the funds will then be transferred to the student's bank account. The student shall bear all transacation costs charged by all banks. The university will provide documentation for the immigration authorities.

Transfer procedures are given with the Letter of Admission.
