Indicator history

In the Government Bill Knowledge without borders – higher education in the era of globalisation (Government Bill 2008/09:175) the Government argues that in the long term the internationalisation of Sweden’s higher education ought to benefit from the introduction of fees for studies at universities and other higher education institutions in Sweden for students who come from countries outside the EU/EEA and Switzerland. 

Swedish universities have now introduced tuition fees for foreign students, except for exchange students and those from within the EU and Switzerland. Tuition fees for international students will range between 90,000-250,000 kronor (9,000-25 000 euro) per year, depending on the programme and school. While over 16,000 non-EU students were enrolled at Swedish universities during the last academic year, fewer than 1,300 are registered for the 2011 autumn term.
