Below is a list of prestigious universities that will be rejected for additional scholarships next year. Students abroad respond to the deletion of 86 universities with the stroke of a pen. One of them is “royal”.

The previous government wanted Norwegian students to go to countries like Brazil, India, China, Russia, South Africa, Japan and South Korea to a greater extent. To pay for additional scholarships there, additional support for more than 80 expensive prestigious universities is cut off (see list below).

Many of the most prestigious universities that are now rejected are located in these countries. Instead of funding tuition fees, it is now suggested that students who go to these countries receive a fixed scholarship, regardless of what they will study. It’s a paradox, says Sebastian Hyten, the leader of the American News Agency (ANSA).

Previously, Norwegian students in nearly 150 prestigious and expensive universities could get additional scholarships from the loan fund.

A student at the famous London School of Economics (LSE) says the scholarship is up to Approximately 75,000 kr additional.

LSE is one of 71 universities removed from the list, see them below. This is also the university where Crown Prince Haakon studied in 2002/2003.

Defending the cuts

Former Minister of State Henrik Achim (at home) defends the cut:

The goal is for this to be a postgraduate scholarship. We want the quality of educational institutions given priority to be better than the best Norwegians. Since there are 140-150 institutions in the list, we have provided additional support for studies at institutions that rank lower than the best Norwegian institutions. When we cut to 75, we prioritize the best foundations, Asheim tells VG.

– Uses two ranking lists

Department Leader of the Directorate of Higher Education and Efficiency (Director of Hong Kong), John Gunnar Simonsen, is responsible for foreign university rankings.

– The list is based on the ranking lists of Higher Education and Academic Ranking of World Universities – ARWU (also called Shanghai Ranking). The rankings from these lists are incorporated into the score, which determines the ranking in the list of qualifications, he says.

The short list of 75 universities was published on the website of the State Loan Fund Thursday morning. Here they are sorted alphabetically.

Students respond

ANSA organizes many Norwegian international students.

– According to our calculations, the reduction will mean that 784 students will lose their right to the scholarship in the 2019 – 2020 academic year. In the year we are in now, 473 students will lose the right to receive additional scholarships. Sebastian Hyten says the drop is of course due to the pandemic, but now it could become permanent if Ola Borten Moe doesn’t clean up.
