Note

BI has a generous scholarship programme for master’s studies. However, the competition for scholarships is great. Each year, the number of scholarship applications received from master’s applicants is far greater than the number of scholarships available.

BI Norwegian Business School aims to build a diverse and international student body.
Only applicants who have been admitted to a Master of Science programme and have applied as instructed will be considered.
Scholarship applications will be considered only if the offer of admission has been accepted.
BI ensures distribution of scholarships across MSc programmes.
BI reserves the right to award scholarships according to institutional priorities which many include prioritizing specific master’s programmes, diversity and gender distribution, or selected partner schools of BI.
All candidates will be assessed according to the ECTS scale. Applicants with international bachelor’s degrees will have their grades converted to the ECTS scale.
Other factors that may influence awarding could be other academic achievements, GMAT/GRE/CAT scores, extracurricular achievements, and special personal achievements.
International applicants who apply for the BI Presidential Scholarship will also be considered for the MSc International Scholarship.
