How to get in
We have not yet researched this university's admission pages, so we will not guess its deadlines or fees. Start from its official website and look for “international admissions”. The general process for Sweden — exams, application platform, visa and costs — is in the Sweden guide.
Studying in Sweden
Indian students go to Sweden for English-taught master's programmes at research-strong technical universities, though non-EU/EEA students pay tuition (Sweden ended free tuition for non-EU students in 2011). All applications go through the single national portal universityadmissions.se, and a residence permit for higher-education studies now carries stricter work and study-progress conditions since June 2026.
- Visa
- Residence permit for higher education studies — SEK 1,500 · about ₹14,517
- Work while studying
- Maximum 15 hours per week during semesters (unlimited in June, July and August) for bachelor's/master's students, under the rules effective 11 June 2026; exceptions apply to internships, student-representative roles, and programme-related research/teaching/artistic work. After completing at least two semesters of study, the work-hour limit no longer applies.
