Foreign students interested in learning Norwegian will be offered an introductory course in the Norwegian language, culture and society. The course is offered both in the fall and the spring semester. The price level in Norway is relatively high. It should not be necessary, however, to bring food for the whole semester, as one exchange student did last year. Close to school and Hatleberg there is a low-cost grocery store, REMA 1000.
All amounts are in Norwegian kroner.
The cost estimate represents a healthy, but not lavish lifestyle. Norwegian authorities require that all foreign students have a residence permit before their arrival in Norway. Students from EU countries are exemted from this rule and may apply for a residence permit after arrival in Norway. Class attendance is mandatory. Active class participation, presentation, coursework, groupwork.
