Sweden — the birthplace of the Nobel Awards — is emerging as a world leader in technology, manufacturing and industrial advancement, with higher education designed to shape future inventors and entrepreneurs. Swedish higher education is part of the Bologna Process to coordinate education across Europe and increase student mobility. There are 14 public universities and 17 public university colleges, plus many independent institutions.
The academic year splits into autumn and spring semesters, with most programmes starting in autumn. Swedish higher education is part of the Bologna Process, enabling student mobility across Europe. Tuition fees apply to students from outside the EU/EEA and Switzerland. Browse English-taught Bachelor's and Master's programmes on the official University Admissions portal.
Many scholarships help cover tuition or living costs, broadly in three categories: Swedish Institute Scholarships (a government agency awarding scholarships each year), scholarship competitions hosted by individual universities, and private and university-funded scholarships. Learn more about studying and funding at Study in Sweden.
Sweden has no official limit on work hours for international students, though full-time study generally requires ~40 hours a week. University career services can help you find part-time jobs. You can extend your residence permit for up to 6 months after course completion to look for full-time work; once you receive a job offer, your employer applies for a work permit.
