Tuition Free Universities in Sweden
In 2010, the Swedish parliament has passed a law that charges tuition and application fees for students from non-EU/EEA countries starting 2011/2012 academic year, to be supplemented by scholarship programs. Thus, there are no government-mandated tuition-free universities in Sweden anymore. However, a significant number of Universities still offer full and partial scholarships in the form of tuition waivers for international students.
Up until now, Sweden has been one of the few countries in Europe that has not charged any types of fees. All students—regardless of nationality—have been funded by Swedish taxpayers. Global competition for talent is increasing sharply and the government wants Swedish universities to compete on equal terms with universities in other countries thus the charging of tuition fees.
Since Sweden acknowledges how non-EU/EEA students add value to the Swedish educational system and recognize them as an attractive talent base, the government will introduce new scholarship programs in succeeding years.
