Malmö University in Sweden offers different scholarship opportunities for international students who want to study for a degree. Each year, the university gives out a limited number of scholarships to qualified master’s students from outside the EU/EEA and Switzerland who are required to pay tuition fees.
The scholarships are given based on good academic results, past experience, and strong motivation. Students admitted into two-year master’s programs can keep their scholarship in the second year if they pass the first year successfully and meet the required number of credits.

There are several scholarship options available, including:
- SI Scholarship for Global Professionals – covers full tuition fees, a monthly living allowance of SEK 15,000, and a SEK 12,000 travel grant.
- Malmö University Master’s Scholarship – covers part or all of the tuition fee.
- Malmö University Excellence Scholarship – covers part or all of the tuition fee.
- Pioneering Women in STEM Scholarship – covers tuition fees, a SEK 15,000 monthly living allowance, and a SEK 12,000 travel grant.
