Frequently Asked Questions
How much does it cost to study in Sweden?
EU/EEA citizens study tuition-free at Swedish public universities. Non-EU students pay between SEK 80,000 and SEK 190,000 (approximately €8,000–€19,000) per year. The Swedish Institute offers fully-funded scholarships for students from eligible countries, and many universities have their own scholarship programs.
What is the student visa process for Sweden?
EU/EEA citizens do not need a visa or residence permit for studies under one year. Non-EU students must apply for a residence permit through the Swedish Migration Agency (Migrationsverket) after receiving their admission letter. You will need to show proof of acceptance, health insurance, and sufficient funds (currently SEK 9,450 per month). Processing typically takes 1–3 months.
What are the best cities to study in Sweden?
Stockholm is the capital and largest student city with KTH, Stockholm University, and the Stockholm School of Economics. Gothenburg offers a strong tech and automotive scene with Chalmers University and the University of Gothenburg. Lund and Uppsala are classic university towns with centuries of academic tradition and vibrant student life. Malmo is an affordable, multicultural alternative close to Copenhagen.
Can I stay in Sweden after graduating?
Yes. Sweden offers a 12-month post-study residence permit that allows graduates to stay and look for work. If you find a job matching your qualifications, you can switch to a work permit. Sweden has a strong job market in tech, engineering, life sciences, and sustainability — sectors actively recruiting international graduates.
Are Swedish university degrees taught in English?
Yes. Sweden offers around 1,000 degree programs taught entirely in English, one of the highest numbers in continental Europe. Nearly all master programs are in English, and a growing number of bachelor programs are available in English as well. Swedish universities also offer free Swedish language courses for enrolled students.
