Studying in Sweden: the essentials

01Intakes and Application Periods

Swedish institutions commonly offer autumn admission, while some programmes also offer a spring intake.

Application dates depend on the programme and applicant's circumstances. Students applying from outside the EU/EEA should pay close attention to deadlines for tuition payment, residence permits and other required documentation.

02Tuition Fees and Scholarships

Students from outside the EU/EEA generally pay application and tuition fees unless an exemption applies.

Tuition fees vary by university, subject and degree level. Scholarships are available through selected universities and other funding schemes, subject to eligibility and competition.

Students should consider living expenses, accommodation availability and other costs when preparing their budget.

03Working While Studying

Sweden generally does not impose a fixed statutory weekly work-hour limit specifically on international university students with a valid residence permit for higher education.

However, students must continue to meet academic requirements and maintain satisfactory study progress. Students should confirm their current rights and obligations through official Swedish guidance.
