August 2010 was the last chance to start a master programme in Sweden without tuition fees for students from a country outside of EU/EEA. Starting Autumn term 2011 there will be tuition fees as well as an application fee for all non-EU/EEA students that attend or apply for Swedish master programmes, respectively. However, students that enroll in a programme 2010 will be allowed to study the full two years of their programme without fees. Note! All higher education in Sweden is still free of charge for EU/EAA students. For more information visit the web pages for International Master Degree Programmes provided by Uppsala University.

You must also be able to cover your living expenses (food, accomodation, etc), plus the course literature. The minimum sum required by the Swedish Migration Board at present is SEK 7,300 per month, approx EUR 780 or USD 990, for at least 10 months of the year if you plan to study for a full year. However, we recommend you to have a somewhat larger amount of money available during your study period at Uppsala. More information can be found at the Swedish Migration Board ("Migrationsverket").

Students from EU and Scandinavian countries do not have to prove their financial situation, but have to sign a document stating that they can support themselves in Sweden. Exchange students from other countries may not always be required to prove their financial status but must be prepared to do so if requested by the Swedish Embassy, Consulate or the Swedish Immigration Board when applying for a residence permit.
