Study groups are often divided into smaller ones for personalized attention. Some of the universities that are tuition-free in Norway include &#8211;\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>University of Bergen:<\/strong> This is a public university that offers free education to both Norwegian and international students.
