MALMÖ UNIVERSITY MASTER’S SCHOLARSHIP

Leave a comment

LOCATION: Sweden

Each year, Malmö University offers a limited number of scholarships to qualified master’s students from outside the EU/EEA and Switzerland who are required to pay tuition fees. These scholarships are awarded on the basis of academic merit, experience, and motivation. They cover partial or up to the full tuition fee but do not cover other expenses, such as living expenses.  

ELIGIBILITY:

Students who have applied for an English-taught master’s programme and meet all of the following conditions are eligible to apply for the Malmö University Master’s Scholarship:

Applied in the first admissions round

Chose an English-taught master’s programme at Malmö University as their first choice on University Admissions (ranked as number 1 of 4)

They were admitted to their first-choice programme

Required to pay tuition fees for university studies in Sweden

To apply for the scholarship, follow these steps: 

Apply for one of our master’s programmes through University Admissions as your first priority. Make sure to pay the application fee to University Admissions.

Admitted students will receive more information on how to apply for the scholarship after Notification of Selection Results.

Scholarship selection will be based on previous academic excellence, the experience described in your CV, and your ability to motivate social engagement through your chosen programme at Malmö University. 

Applicants who have been offered a scholarship will be notified by the end of April. Those who are not offered a scholarship will not be notified individually.

Only a few students are granted scholarships every year. You should, therefore, start planning for ways to finance your tuition and stay in Sweden well in advance, in case you are not awarded a scholarship. The deadline to pay tuition fees is 10 May.

Students admitted to two-year programmes retain the scholarship for the second year if they successfully complete the first year of study and meet the progression criteria (minimum 22.5 credits a semester, minimum 45 credits an academic year).

BENEFIT:

There are numerous scholarship opportunities available at Malmo University for international students. They include:

SI Scholarship for Global Professionals: covers tuition, a SEK15,000 monthly stipend, and a SEK12,000 travel grant.

Malmö University Master’s Scholarship: cover partial or up to the full tuition fee
