Princess Ingrid Alexandra of Norway will begin full-time studies at the University of Sydney in August and is expected to live on campus.
The 21-year-old royal is the eldest child of Crown Prince Haakon and Crown Princess Mette-Marit.
She is second in line to the throne, following her father.
Norway's Royal House announced Princess Ingrid had enrolled in the Bachelor of Arts program, focusing on international relations and political economy.
"Her Royal Highness looks forward to dedicating herself to her studies in the years to come," the statement said on Tuesday.
Princess Ingrid will make the move after completing 15 months of military service in the Engineer Battalion of Brigade North.
During her time abroad, she is expected to step back from official royal duties.
Princess Ingrid's move comes after her stepbrother Marius Borg Høiby was arrested in 2024 over allegations of rape, which he has staunchly denied.
It is not uncommon for royals to pursue their studies in Australia.
In 2023, Count Nikolai of Denmark, nephew of Denmark's King Frederik X, attended the University of Technology Sydney for a semester.
He and girlfriend Benedikte Thoustrup split their time between Australia and Europe.
