ABOUT
Studying master’s in North Sea Energy Law at University of Oslo in Norway:

Please note that if you have accepted a housing offer and choose not to come, you must notify SiO housing and cancel your housing contract. Failure to do so may result in a fee.

Most students pay somewhere between NOK 4,000 and 7,000 NOK in rent on a monthly basis. There are many options around Oslo for accommodation other than the university housing:
- Citybox Oslo: This hotel in the center of Oslo is more like a self-service supermarket. There’s no reception desk.

Rates from NOK 590.

After Graduation
Norway is generally considered an attractive country for international students with high-quality education and a range of scholarships.
However, students coming to the country often get the right to stay here through a study permit.
While the study permit is only a temporary residence option, several permit options are available to those who are about to graduate from a Norwegian university. “Several residence permits can be applied for after achieving a degree or diploma in Norway that may give the applicant a continued stay in Norway based on a new residence permit.
- Job seeker permits: this permit may be granted to students who have recently graduated in Norway, permit has a maximum duration of one year, and the purpose of the stay must be being a job seeker for skilled work.
- Residence permits for skilled workers: It’s important to know that this is a work permit which requires that the applicant is ‘skilled,’ and it comes with the condition that the applicant has a Bachelor’s degree as a minimum and that the offered work in Norway is relevant and requires the applicant’s competence and higher education.
- Study/researcher permits: If a student is admitted to a study program of a higher level than their previous level of studies, a “renewed residence permit as a student may be granted.” PhD Studies or researcher work with own funds/employed researcher work may also “give grounds for a new residence permit if the conditions are considered as met.” However, if a student fails to fulfil the conditions to be granted a new residence permit, they must leave Norway after completing their studies.
