Why Recruit Students in Norway?
Norway may be a smaller market, but it’s one of Europe’s most strategic and high-quality sources of international students. With 23,000 Norwegian students currently studying abroad across more than 90 countries, the country consistently ranks among the top in outbound mobility relative to its population size. And thanks to strong government support, high English proficiency, and a globally minded student base, Norway offers a stable and focused recruitment environment for institutions worldwide.
Academically Strong, Globally Curious
Norwegian students are highly motivated, research-driven, and fluent in English, with Norway regularly ranking among the top countries in the EF English Proficiency Index. Many attend IB schools or international programs in upper secondary education, making them well-prepared for direct university entry.
Popular fields of study include:
- Sustainability and climate science
- Engineering and health sciences
- Business and international relations
- AI, data science, and global development
These students actively seek interdisciplinary programs, hands-on learning, and institutions that align with their values, especially around climate responsibility and social impact.
Lånekassen: A Game-Changer for Mobility
One of Norway’s biggest advantages is Lånekassen, the government-backed student loan and grant system. It provides generous financial support for tuition, living expenses, and travel, even for study at approved institutions abroad. This makes international education realistically accessible for thousands of students each year1.
Mobility Trends and Destination Preferences
According to Statistics Norway and the Norwegian Agency for International Cooperation and Quality Enhancement in Higher Education (SIU), Norwegian students consistently choose destinations like the UK, Denmark, Netherlands, USA, Australia, and Canada. More recently, Germany and Sweden have gained popularity due to low or tuition-free models and strong academic reputations.
Norwegian students are increasingly drawn to:
- English-taught programs
- Career-oriented education pathways
- Institutions with strong internship and exchange options
Why Education Fairs in Norway Matter
Education fairs in Norway, especially in cities like Oslo, Bergen, Stavanger, Kristiansand, and Trondheim, are essential for building visibility and trust. These events attract motivated, well-prepared students and offer institutions the chance to:
- Present programs and scholarships
- Engage in meaningful conversations
- Build long-term relationships with schools and counselors
Over 40,000 visitors attend our education fairs in Norway annually, and 9 out of 10 students say the fairs influence their education choices.
A High-Quality, Targeted Market
Norway isn’t a high-volume market but it’s highly concentrated and efficient. With most students clustered in key urban centers, recruitment efforts can be precisely targeted. Institutions that combine fair participation with local outreach, alumni engagement, and counselor partnerships tend to see strong results.
Bottom line? Norway offers a unique opportunity to recruit academically strong, globally ambitious students who are financially supported and ready to engage. For institutions participating in education fairs in Germany, Norway represents a complementary market. One where quality engagement translates directly into qualified applications.
