International students from selected countries outside EU/EEA/Switzerland

The scholarship will cover 100% of the tuition fee of the programme as long as you follow the normal study plan (minimum 22.5 credits/semester, minimum 45 credits/academic year). The scholarship does not cover living expenses.

Candidates who wish to be considered for the scholarship must first apply for an eligible Masters programme at Mälardalen University on www.universityadmissions.se, with Mälardalen University as their first choice university. In addition the application fee must have been paid on time.

The scholarship is for especially qualified students coming from countries outside of EU/EEA/Switzerland and who are required to pay tuition fees. However, the scholarship is not open for students from the 12 countries with which Sweden has long-term development cooperation, namely, Bangladesh, Bolivia, Burkina Faso, Cambodia, Ethiopia, Kenya, Mali, Mozambique, Rwanda, Tanzania, Uganda and Zambia. Students from these countries should instead apply for the Swedish Institute Study Scholarship.

Applications are currently closed.

You must fill out the scholarship form and submit the application together with your other documents to University Admissions Sweden before 2 February 2026.
