Eligible students from Norway still pay the same fees as UK students at USW.


We have three vibrant campuses around the capital city of Wales; Cardiff. Here, you can enjoy a high standard of living at a low cost. You’ll be surrounded by the best of South Wales’ cities, coast and countryside, and we’re only 2 hours from London via train. Most of our 500 + courses are recognised or accredited by professional organisations and are all taught with employability in mind. That’s why 96% of USW graduates are in Employment and/or Further Study 15 months after graduation (Graduate Outcomes Survey 2021/22).


Everything you need to know

As a self-funding international student from Norway, you are eligible for a scholarship of:

  • £2,500 per year for undergraduate students

This applies for courses starting in September 2024 and February 2025. You will be automatically considered for one of these awards when we receive your application.
