University of Skövde Masters Scholarships 2021/2022 for International Students

The University of Skovde Sweden is offering Masters Scholarships for international students for the 2021/2022 academic year.

University of Skövde Masters Scholarships

The University of Skövde has recently updated the name of the scholarship programme for master’s students it administrates. It will no longer be referred to as UHR Scholarships but the University of Skövde Masters Scholarships.

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). If you are granted, the amount will be automatically deducted from the tuition fee when you receive your invoice.

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.

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

Applicants from outside the home country will often need to meet specific English language/other language requirements in order to be able to study there.

By what Criteria is Selection Made?  The scholarship granting criterion is academic merits.
