Students liable for tuition fees:

• Students from countries outside the European Union (EU) or European Economic Area (EEA)
• Students studying on basic (bachelor) or advanced (master) level
• Students that begin their studies the autumn semester 2011 or later

Students NOT liable for tuition fees:

• Students from countries inside the European Union (EU) or European Economic Area (EEA)
• Students studying on research level (PhD)
• Exchange students (regardless of origin)
• Students continuing studies initiated before July 2011

For detailed information and FAQ, please see the links on the right hand side of this page. Most of the international students are also liable for the application fee, more information regarding this matter can be found at universityadmissions.se.

The University of Skövde offers scholarships which cover 50% of the tuition fee for those students who get awarded.
