Master in Biology

Yes. The Study in Norway register, run by HK-dir, lists it as an English-taught programme at UiT The Arctic University of Norway. Only English-taught degree programmes are included here.

The register lists Tromsø as the campus town for this programme at UiT The Arctic University of Norway.

Master’s applications go straight to the institution, not through the national admission service (NUCAS). Study in Norway states that you need a bachelor’s degree comparable to a Norwegian bachelor’s degree (180 ECTS), including courses equal to at least one and a half years of full-time study relevant to the programme, and some programmes require a minimum grade average. UiT The Arctic University of Norway publishes its requirements on the programme page.

Each institution sets and publishes its own deadline for each programme, and the dates can differ between applicants from outside the EU/EEA, EU/EEA applicants and Nordic applicants. As UiT The Arctic University of Norway lists it: Non-EU/EEA applicants: 15th of November, EU/EEA + Swiss applicants: 1st of March, Nordic applicants: 15th of April. The register shows 15 November 2026 as a deadline date for this programme. Confirm the date for your own situation on the programme page at UiT The Arctic University of Norway.

No annual fee is listed for this programme. Degree students from outside the EU, the EEA and Switzerland normally pay tuition at Norwegian institutions, and the fees vary by institution and programme, so ask UiT The Arctic University of Norway what applies to you. For students from the EU, the EEA and Switzerland the record shows no tuition fee. Fees are in NOK as the institution lists them. Every student also pays a semester fee of about NOK 1,000 to the student welfare organisation linked to the institution.

Students from outside the EU, the EEA and Switzerland need a study permit from the Norwegian Directorate of Immigration (UDI). UDI asks for proof of admission, housing and funds of NOK 15,488 a month or NOK 170,368 a year (2026/27), on top of any tuition fee. A study permit allows work of up to 20 hours a week during term and full time in the holidays. Students from the EU, the EEA and Switzerland register with the police within three months of arrival instead.
