Participation Costs, Insurance and Scholarships

Information for Round 21 beginning Fall 2025

Participation costs and fees will be charged according to the university regulations at the Partner Universities.

For year one at LTU Kiruna Campus, the fee for non-EU students is 140 000 SEK, while students from EU/EEA, Nordic countries and Switzerland are supported by the Swedish government and have no fees. More information is available here. During the second year, depending on choice of university, the fee is based on the local university fees for students.

Brexit information regarding application and tuition fee requirements for British citizens and their families is available (in Swedish) here.

* others: persons with permanent residence permit in Sweden, residence permit in Sweden for reasons other than studies. Detailed information is available here

** Master diploma from Luleå University of Technology, no double diploma.

*** Students may apply for university scholarships.

**** Eligibility for Home fee status is determined with reference to UK Department for Education rules. As a guiding principle UK or Irish nationals who are ordinarily resident in either the UK or Republic of Ireland pay Home tuition fees. All other students (including those from the Channel Islands and Isle of Man) pay Overseas fees.

The participation costs are subject to adjustment every academic year. The costs should be announced before the application deadline for the next academic year, i.e. January 15.

During the second year, students have the possibility to apply for the Erasmus+ Traineeship Mobility Grant.

Other Costs

Students are expected to finance their living, accommodation and travel costs themselves. The participating universities have services for foreign students that can provide assistance in arranging accommodation and other practical arrangements.

Insurance

During working hours all students are covered by student university insurance according to national legislation and university rules. When you are registered at LTU you will be covered by the Swedish State Insurance Kammarkollegiet.

Students studying at the bachelor’s (first cycle), master’s (second cycle) or doctoral (third cycle) level, who are registered at a Swedish university, are covered for personal injuries with an insurance called Personal Injury Insurance for Students. This insurance provides coverage during your time at school and on placement. You are also covered during your commute to and from your school or placement (unless a vehicle is involved, then you are covered by the vehicle’s insurance). This insurance is free and you are covered automatically – there are no special papers you need to sign. Your time at school means the time you spend at your university’s facilities and grounds. The one exception is when you are participating in activities arranged by someone other than your university. The insurance does not cover your leisure time so it’s important to sign up for a private accident insurance that covers the times you aren’t in school.

Students who pay tuition fees in Sweden are covered by an insurance called FAS+. FAS+ has medical and dental coverage, home transport, third party liability and legal protection. More information at Kammarkollegiet.
