Sweden

Country: Sweden

No tuition or application fee for EU/EEA and Swiss citizens, while non-EU students pay SEK 80,000–295,000 a year plus a SEK 900 application fee. Study in Sweden lists 39 universities with more than 1,000 bachelor's and master's programmes in English, and admission is central and fully online. Discover how the application rounds work, what a month costs (at least SEK 10,656 for non-EU students) and how to find a room.

EU/EEA and Swiss citizens pay neither tuition fees nor an application fee in Sweden – you only need to prove your citizenship. This applies to bachelor's and master's programmes, including those taught in English.

Students from outside the EU/EEA and Switzerland pay:

  • an application fee of SEK 900,
  • tuition fees of SEK 80,000 to 295,000 a year – on average around SEK 129,000, depending on the institution and the programme.

In Sweden a doctorate is usually a paid position – doctoral students are employed by the university and receive a salary, and recruitment works differently from ordinary programmes.
