Tuition fees and scholarships
Tuition fees (BSc, MSc & PhD)
EU/EEA/Swiss citizens
Citizens of an EU/EEA country or Switzerland are not required to pay tuition fees.
Non-EU/EEA/Swiss citizens
Non-EU/EEA/Swiss citizens are generally required to pay tuition fees.
Due to increased costs, tuition fees for non-EU/EEA/Swiss students have been raised by 20 % from fall 2023. This only applies to newly enrolled students from the fall semester of 2023, not currently enrolled students at SSE. As of fall 2023, the tuition fees are:
- BSc programs: SEK 120,000 per year if you are required to pay
- MSc programs: SEK 180,000 per year if you are required to pay
- PhD programs: free of charge
There are some exceptions to this general rule. SSE follows the same regulations regarding tuition fees as all public universities in Sweden. Check if you are required to pay here.
Payment of the fees
The fees at SSE are paid in installments (1 per semester) and are due before the semester starts (June 1, December 31, August 31, December 31, etc.).
In case you don't need to pay the tuition fee, you will be asked to provide a proof of your status (e.g. EU/EEA passport, decision from the Migration Board granting you the residence permit in Sweden). It is your status by the payment deadline that defines whether you are required to pay or not. E.g. if you are in the process of receiving a EU passport or Swedish residence permit and you get it before June 1, you are not required to pay. If you receive it after June 1, you are required to pay the fees for the first semester, but will be exempted from paying for the next one.
