We can't guarantee you that. Nobody can guarantee you that. These are just some tips and opportunities that, if used right
0:20
can make your education in Sweden as affordable as it can be
0:24
And if you're lucky, maybe even free. So, let's get to it

1:09
As you study here, you'll surely get the most out of your education. However, studying here comes with a certain price
1:15
Sweden has gained reputation of being an expensive place to live in
1:19
But still, we can study in Sweden for free. There are some ways to do that
1:23
In this video, we'll give you some tips on how you can study in Sweden for free
1:28
Well, the first step, of course, is preparing an excellent admissions application
1:32
Foreign students are advised to apply early through the university admissions website
1:36
The ideal time is mid-January, since most English taught programs start during August
1:41
However, if you want to start in spring, then you need to complete your requirements by mid-August
1:46
These required documents include proof that you meet the standards for the program
1:50
and an exam of English proficiency. On the admissions website, undergraduate applicants can write as many as eight choices
1:57
Master's students, on the other hand, are limited to only four options
2:01
In this phase of your planning, do your best to present high grades, certificates proving your achievements
2:06
and involvement in various academic activities. Having these can make your application stand out
2:12
At step two, we have getting a scholarship in Sweden. International students can apply for university or institute scholarships
2:19
Specifically, the bursaries handed out by the Swedish universities. Apart from that, there are bursaries founded by private organizations and foundations as well
2:29
As an international student here, you will have a lot of scholarships and awards to apply for
2:33
Scholarships will be a significant relief in financing your education. They will help you pay tuition fees, accommodation and other expenses
2:41
But the scholarships are not the only way to lighten this burden
2:45
Because at step three, we have applying to cheap universities in Sweden
2:49
The tuition fee in Swedish universities ranges from $9,500 to $32,000. Although these are unaffordable for a lot of people, some institutions have cheaper tuition fees
3:00
At Malmö University, for example, you only need to pay $25,000 for the entire course of studies
3:06
Essentially, this will only cost you about $6,000 a year. Of course, lower tuition fees do not mean that you will get a low quality of education
3:15
So, what tuition-free options do we have in Sweden? Well, here are some institutions with great scholarships for different degrees
3:22
Options for bachelor studies in Sweden. At number one, we have Lund University
3:26
Lund University, which is based in Skogne, Sweden, is one of Europe's oldest and most prestigious institutions
3:32
Founded in the year 1666 and home to nine faculties, the university offers a global scholarship program that is open to all brilliant students residing outside the EU or EEA
3:45
While tuition fees for undergraduate students vary between $10,000 to $20,000, some recipients can receive up to 100% tuition reduction
3:54
Apart from submitting the usual application documents, eligible students need to forward a 600-word scholarship motivation letter as well
4:01
Selection is based on academic performance, program fit, and commitment and desire to study at Lund University
4:07
Since this bursary is merit-based, financial need is not considered in the process
4:11
And then we have Karlstad University. This university is a state institute that started as a branch of the University of Gothenburg
4:18
It became an independent university college in 1977 before being awarded full university status in 1999
4:25
Karlstad University, which offers 40 education programs, also offers a global scholarship program
4:30
However, students coming from 12 countries may not be eligible for this bursary
4:35
The scholarship can cover 100% of tuition costs, so international students will be able to study in Sweden for free
4:41
You should note that some may receive tuition discounts as well. Eligible applicants should have Karlstad as the primary choice for their studies
4:49
They should also enter the university during the fall term. Tuition-free options for master's studies in Sweden
4:55
At number one we have Swedish Institute. The Swedish Institute is a public organization in Stockholm that offers two scholarships
5:02
One is the SI scholarship for global professionals, which is open to students coming from 42 nations who will commence schooling during the fall semester
5:11
The scholarship covers full tuition for one to two years of study
5:14
This scholarship creates a great opportunity to study for your master's in Sweden for free
5:19
since it also includes $1,200 in monthly living expenses, insurance and a travel grant
5:25
SI also offers a scholarship exclusively for South African master's students. This includes tuition, a living allowance of $1,200 and travel expenses
5:34
And then we have Stockholm University. Stockholm University offers a variety of master's degree scholarships through the Swedish Institute
5:41
It also hosts two scholarships for students who are currently enrolled in the
5:45
Master in International Commercial Arbitration Law program. Open to students living outside the EU and EEA
5:51
it only covers tuition fees and does not cover living costs. Tuition-free options for PhD studies in Sweden
5:57
At number one we have Stockholm University. Stockholm University scholarships for PhD students usually come from donor funds
6:04
This is open to all students from the faculties of law, humanities, social science or science
6:09
Regardless of the source, applicants need to submit two payment forms for their bursaries to get through the university
6:15
And then we have Swedish University of Agricultural Science. Based on Uppsala, the Swedish University of Agricultural Science offers a PhD scholarship in forestry
6:24
It is also open to African students with master's degrees, though priority is placed on citizens from Rwanda, Uganda, Tanzania, Mozambique and Ethiopia
