Admission at a glance
UiT runs separate windows by citizenship. Applicants from outside the EU and EEA use a portal that opens on 15 October and closes on 15 November, for studies starting the following autumn, which is two weeks earlier than the 1 December used by NTNU, Bergen and the Norwegian University of Life Sciences. EU, EEA and Swiss applicants apply from 1 February to 1 March. Two master's programmes, Fine Arts and Landscape Architecture, use 1 March for everyone. All documents, including the English test, must be uploaded by the deadline, because the document deadline is the same as the application deadline. Non-EU applicants who applied by 15 November receive results by the end of February. After accepting an offer, a non-EU student receives an invoice for the year's tuition, which includes the semester fee, and must pay it in full before the academic year; there are no instalments. UiT is strict about how the money moves under Norway's anti-money laundering rules: the fee must be paid by the student from their own bank account, a sponsor must first transfer the money to the student, and a company or organisation cannot pay it. Registering the payment can take up to three weeks, and the confirmation is what the student uses when applying for a residence permit.
