Higher education in Sweden is among
the best in the world. The Nordic country has an excellent system, which
places more emphasis on group and independent study rather than lectures.
Freedom and responsibility are the key values that support the development
of students.
The number of international students
enrolled at Swedish universities and colleges is constantly growing, and the
percentage of those who are admitted is above half. If you want to be one of
those students, you should first know more about the costs of studying and
living in Sweden.
1. University tuition fees in Sweden
Tuition for EU/EEA students
At Swedish public universities,
students who are citizens of the EU/EEA, other Nordic countries, and
Switzerland do not have to pay any tuition for Bachelor’s and Master’s
degrees. PhD courses are free for all international students, regardless of
their country of origin.
Tuition for non-EU/EEA students
Students from non-EU/EEA countries
pay tuition fees. The costs range between 7,500 – 25,500 EUR/year depending
on the study programme and university. Business and Architecture are some of
the most expensive courses.
Non-EU/EEA citizens also have to pay
a university application fee, which is around 90 EUR and may vary depending
on the institution.
