Education

Beginning in fall semester 2011, all the Swedish higher education institutions will introduce application and tuition fees for students from countries outside EU, EES and Switzerland.

It is only for education at undergraduate and advanced level the tuition fees will apply, not for studies at Doctoral level. Students may not have access to a course unless appropriate fees are paid. The tuition fee will cover the full cost of your studies.

Tuition fee

The tuition fees for the Bachelor programme at the School of Health Sciences is SEK 20 000 for the first semester and the total cost for the programme is SEK 90 000.

For the Master programmes the tuition fee is SEK 30 000 for the first semester. The total cost for the programme is SEK 120 000.

The tuition fee will be charged in advance for each semester.

Exceptions

There are some exceptions for the tuition fees. If you have started your programme in Sweden before July 1 2011, you are allowed to finished that programme without paying tuition fees. Student who are a part of an Exchange programme will not pay fees.

There are some other criteria to avoid the tuition fee, see if you fit in to one of these criteria at Universityadmissions.se. Some examples:

You have Swedish citizenship
You have been granted a permanent Swedish residency permit
You have been granted a temporary Swedish residency permit for reasons other than studies. (Having a temporary residency permit for studies in Sweden does NOT grant you exemption from fee payments)
You are a family member of a citizen of an EU or EEA country, or Switzerland, who has temporary or permanent right of residence in Sweden.

Application fee

To apply to study at higher education institutions in Sweden you will have to pay an application fee if you are a citizen from a country outside EU, EES or Switzerland. For the fall semester 2012 the application fee will be 900 SEK.
