The tuition fee for a specific programme or course can be found under the programme or course information. When you select the programme you are interested in from the list, you click the "tuition fees and payment" button to the left side of the screen and this is where you find the tuition fee for that particular programme.

Students who are citizens of non-EU/EEA coutries

Students who are citizens of countries outside the European Union (EU), European Economic Area (EEA) and Switzerland are generally required to pay application and tuition fees.

You are NOT required to pay application and tuition fees if:

• You have Swedish citizenship
• You have been granted permanent Swedish residency
• You have been granted temporary Swedish residency 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, and have temporary or permanent right of residence in Sweden
• You have long-term resident status in Sweden
