Fees and costs
Tuition fees
With rare exceptions, tuition fees in higher education in Sweden are fully subsidized by the government. This applies to both foreign and Swedish students. Higher education is financed by the state, a system common to many European countries. You do, however, need to cover your living expenses during your study period, which amounts to approximately SEK 7300 (EUR 780) per month, which is also a pre-requisite for acquiring a residence permit.
Please note that scholarships are not awarded by institutions of higher education. The Swedish Institute administers a limited number of scholarships. More information about scholarships is available here.
Student union fees
Students are required to pay a membership fee to the local student union. Fees range from SEK 150-400 per term depending on the union.
Literature and textbooks
The required reading is often extensive and students usually have to buy their own books as library copies are limited. Teachers also prepare and hand out their own compendia.
On average, students can expect to spend SEK 750 per month on books in an academic term. With some subjects such as law this figure is likely to be higher. Many student unions organize book sales where students can buy used textbooks cheaply.
