Ukrainian citizens
- MSc level
Citizens of Ukraine who get admitted to any of SSE's Master programs (intake 2024) are not required to pay tuition fees, regardless of being covered by EU's Temporary Protection Directive or not. More information regarding upcoming intakes will come. - BSc Level
Citizens of Ukraine who get admitted to any of SSE's Bachelor programs are not required to pay tuition fees if they are covered by EU’s Temporary Protection Directive.
If you have sought refuge from the conflict in Ukraine or were present in Sweden when the war began, you might be eligible for the temporary protection residence permit in Sweden. If you are covered by the Directive and have left Ukraine after October 30, 2021 and come to Sweden and get a permit here on the basis of the Directive, you will be exempt from paying tuition fees during this permit period. However, if you are not covered by the Directive, you are normally required to pay tuition fees as a non-EU/EEA student.
Please note that we are closely monitoring any changes to this EU directive and that this information is subject to change.
Tuition fees
If you are covered by the EU’s Temporary Protection Directive and have left Ukraine after 30 October 2021 and come to Sweden and get a permit here on the basis of the Directive, you will be exempt from paying tuition fees during this permit period. However, if you are not covered by the Directive, you are normally required to pay tuition fees as a non-EU/EEA student.
Non-EU/EEA/Swiss citizens
Non-EU/EEA/Swiss citizens are generally required to pay tuition fees.
- 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
SSE generally follows the same regulations regarding tuition fees as all public universities in Sweden. Check if you are required to pay here. There are some exceptions to this general rule (see information below).
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.
