Verified against official sources · last checked September 2026 · see sources

Tuition is free for EEA, EU, and Swiss students. Non-EEA students pay NOK 204,000 per year (NOK 408,000 for the full two-year programme) — the rate for the 2026/27 cohort, and NHH fixes it for the nominal length of the degree, so it does not rise under you. One charge applies to everyone and is easy to miss because it is often written up as a fee EEA students pay instead of tuition: NHH states that "all students, regardless of the passport they hold, are required to pay a small semester registration fee" of roughly NOK 910 to Sammen, the Bergen student welfare organisation — about NOK 3,640 across four semesters, due 1 September and 1 February. The 2027/28 cohort's tuition is not yet set; NHH expects to publish it in the first quarter of 2027.

Frequently asked questions

How much does the NHH MSc cost?
For EEA, EU, and Swiss students, tuition is entirely free. Non-EEA students pay NOK 204,000 per year, totalling NOK 408,000 for the full two-year programme — a per-cohort rate that NHH holds fixed for the nominal length of the degree, so it does not rise year on year. On top of that, every student pays a semester registration fee of roughly NOK 910 to Sammen, the Bergen student welfare organisation, regardless of passport — about NOK 3,640 over four semesters. NHH does not publish merit scholarships for international non-EEA students at the MSc level, so the published fee is the operative figure for those applicants.
Where does NHH rank for the Master in Management?
NHH placed 83rd worldwide in the Financial Times Masters in Management 2025, with a weighted three-year salary of approximately US $77,000 and a 93% employment rate at three months. As Norway's only ranked business school on the FT MiM table, NHH holds a singular position in the Nordic landscape.
What salary can NHH MSc graduates expect?
The Financial Times 2025 ranking reports a weighted three-year salary of approximately US $77,000 — a standardised cross-school metric measuring earnings three years after graduation. NHH does not publish its own salary figure for the MSc; the school reports that spring 2025 graduates achieved a record high employment rate, with 96% in relevant employment, but does not release a specific salary number. The FT figure is the primary benchmark available.

Tuition re-confirmed and its mechanism recorded: NOK 204,000/yr master's for the 2026/2027 cohort (2025/2026: 196,000; 2024/2025: 180,000), "Tuition fees are set per cohort and are based on the year you begin your studies. The fee remains the same for the nominal duration of your programme", and the 2027/2028 cohort is "not yet determined", expected in the first quarter of 2027.
