What these tuition figures coverThe published national planning average for fee-paying non-EU/EEA students is approximately SEK 129,000 per academic year. This is one combined bachelor’s/master’s reference, not two separately measured degree averages. Actual fees depend on the subject and programme; exemptions and the application fee are separate.
Typical living reference / month · SEK SEK 10,656 Housing and daily expenses depend on the city and your choices.

Published 2026 monthly reference of SEK 10,656, also used in Migration Agency maintenance guidance. It is a baseline, not a guarantee for every housing market; adjust for your city and accommodation.

Part-time work & careers

New permits: 15 hours / week in semester

For bachelor’s and master’s study permits decided from 11 June 2026, the semester cap is 15 hours weekly; June, July and August are unrestricted under this rule. Certain university-linked work is exempt. Permits decided before that date retain the earlier rule until extension. Do not use older “no limit” guidance for a new application.

After your degree

Eligible bachelor’s/master’s graduates may apply for up to one year to look for work or investigate starting a business. Doctoral graduates have a different duration framework. Maintenance, insurance and completion conditions apply.
