University of Skövde Master's Scholarships

Deadline: February 1, 2023

The University of Skövde scholarship supports academic and research excellence in students enrolled to study at the university. Students at the university are exposed to work-class learning and research facilities which will aid their educational advancement.

The University of Skövde awards some partial scholarships to students liable to pay tuition fees attending a master’s programme at our University.

The scholarships are partial tuition fee waivers (50% of the tuition fee). The amount will be automatically deducted from the tuition fee when you receive your invoice if you are granted it.

The scholarship is granted for one academic semester, but it can be extended to subsequent academic semesters, provided that the student’s study results are satisfactory. The scholarship granting criterion is academic merit. The scholarships can only be awarded to tuition-paying students (external link).

Please note that you have to be able to finance the remainder of the tuition fee yourself and cover all the living expenses during your stay in Sweden.

Necessary: Scholarships are awarded before the commencement of a master’s programme. Students need to apply for scholarships before they receive their admissions results. Students must follow the scholarship application deadline indicated on this webpage. Please check the deadline and scholarship results dates below.

If you are already admitted or enrolled as a master’s student at the University of Skövde, you are not currently eligible to apply for the University of Skövde Master’s Scholarships.
