In 2011, Sweden introduced tuition fees for non-EU students, which resulted in an 80% drop in applicants. Norway is now implementing similar fees and data is already showing a 20% decrease in interest for Norwegian institutions as a study destination. This poster draws similarities between the two Scandinavian countries and also asks: How price-sensitive are international students and what strategies should be employed to mitigate the effect of tuition fees?
