FAQ Questions — Application fees and tuition fees
Beginning with the autumn semester 2011, Sweden will be introducing application and tuition fees for some international students who apply for courses and programmes at universities and university colleges.

We know that you have many questions and have put together this FAQ to assist you.

Why is Sweden introducing tuition fees?
According to the Ministry of Education and Research, a vast majority of European countries already have tuition fees and the government wants Swedish higher education institutions to compete on equal terms. Also, because of increasing global competition, the government wants to use some of the money which pays for foreign student fees to award institutions that have shown particular excellence. In the long run, this will make Swedish higher education even more attractive.

When will fees be introduced?
Application and tuition fees will first be introduced for students applying for studies for the autumn term 2011.

How high will the fees be?
The application fee will be 900 SEK (Swedish kronor) = 17,626.66 NGN. Tuition fees will be set by the institutions themselves. They will cover the full cost of studies; therefore, the fee levels may vary depending on the type and content of the course or programme.

Who will be required to pay tuition fees?
All citizens in countries outside the European Union and the European Economic Area who study at a Swedish higher education institution, and who do not have any other kind of residence permit in Sweden other than a residence permit for studies, will need to pay tuition fees. Exchange students and doctoral students will be exempted from tuition fees.

Will students who begin two-year-studies in 2010 have to pay fees in their second year?
No, students who begin their studies before tuition fees are introduced will be able to complete their study program according to the rules that apply in the current system, i.e. they will not be required to pay application or tuition fees.
