Did you know that…in Norway and Finland, you can complete a bachelor’s degree at a public university free of charge, no matter where you come from?
There is a very small fee in Norway, of about US$50-100 per semester, but that gets you benefits such as campus health services, sports facilities and reduced prices on public transport and for cultural events.
You can also get an undergraduate degree free of charge in Sweden or Denmark, as long as you’re:
- A citizen of a country in the EU (European Union),
- A citizen of a country in the EEA (European Economic Area),
- A citizen of Switzerland
- A participant in an exchange program.
Sounds too good to be true, doesn’t it? Especially when you consider that these are some of the most developed countries in the world, with some of the best universities, cultured cities and beautiful scenery.
Where are the Nordic countries?
The Nordic countries are a group of countries in northern Europe, including Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Finland and Iceland (which doesn’t have free degrees). Greenland and the Faroe Islands, which are self-governing but technically part of the Kingdom of Denmark, are also included.
These countries have some shared history and culture, and they collaborate politically through the Nordic Council.
There’s an overlap with the region known as Scandinavia – which is Denmark, Norway and Sweden.
