Hello,

For admission to a postgraduate course, you should contact the university directly. Their websites will be able to provide information about admissions and requirements. You might have some trouble getting your education recognised in Norway, but the university would be better able to advise you about that.

mylittlenorway.com/2009/10/how-to-get-a-job-in-norway/ the most accurate info on finding work in norway
Since coming to norway i have heard of people handing out over 300 CV´S without getting one call back.
Language is the only real way to get a job in norway so be prepaired to learn Norwegian. LV 3 is enough to work in a Norwegian business each course costing around 6000kr you need to be prepared.
Alot of people i have met have returned to their country because the job hunt has been hard for them so a lot of determination is needed. Its also not uncommon for there to be no jobs in the area you move to as the population is low and people are quite content with work in Norway (Good money)

Hope this helps i know how it felt panicing over work. Just stick to it learn as much language as you can and try to make as many friends as you can (Norwegains are more friendly then they come accross)

I would never say any job in Norway was easy to find. The government is currently closing local hospitlals and investing in larger better equipped super hospitals. Look online for Flekkefjord hospital and the plans surrounding it. As for UNI fees... This subject will give you a smile quoted directly from a norwegian website.

"The majority of Norwegian institutions of higher education are publicly funded. And the Norwegian government considers access to higher education for all to be an important part of the Norwegian society. Thus, there are normally no tuition fees at state universities and university colleges in Norway. This also applies to foreign students, no matter which country you come from."

FYI

No tuition fees
Generally, students at state universities and university colleges do not pay tuition fees. This is true for all levels, including undergraduate studies, Masters programmes and Ph.D. programmes. However, students will have to pay a semester fee of NOK 300-600 each semester. In order to take an exam this fee will have to be paid in full. But the fee also grants you membership in the local student welfare organisation, which in turn entitles you to several benefits. These benefits may include on campus health services, counselling, access to sports facilities and cultural activities.

Payment of the semester fee is also neccessary to get an official student card that, among other things, gives you reduced fares on most forms of public transport and lower ticket prices to various cultural events.

Programmes and courses with tutition fees
Most private institutions have tuition fees for all their programmes and courses. But the fees are usually significantly lower than those of comparable studies in most other countries. Also, foreign students don't pay higher tuition fees than Norwegian students.

State universities and university colleges may have tuition fees for a few specialised programmes. Typically these programmes are at the Masters level.

Working as a doctor here can be a possibility indeed. In the hospitals, one meets lots of doctors from Asia or from Eastern Europe, that hearing their accent and level of Norwegian, are fairly recent immigrants. It is a complicated process to get the medical diploma recognized here but it is possible. Also, you will need to pass the "Bergen test", which is a test in advanced Norwegian to be considered for any job in the medical sector.
