I can't tell you about the fees, but I know this school very well and it is simply great (good faculty, nice people, accredited)! However, you have to like Scandinavian winters... ;-)

Best,

This is true that UMEA has no tuition fee, this is because the education in Sweden is funded by the government..

Well this is not a general rule, when I think that the tuition for SSE MBA is Euro 30.000 ..

It's also worth noting that most Swedish students finance their living costs and other expenses through taking out a government loan. These, however, are not available to international students. Bear in mind that the cost of living in Sweden is relatively high, at least as compared with many other European countries.

hello.I am Sana from Pakistan.i have heard that from next year,swedish universities will no more tusion fee free for international students.is that true?plz guide me

Im im senthil 4rm india..Im an engg. Graduate...Most of the swedish universities are tuition free..The reason behind is the swedish govt. Is funding for education institute..Especially to attract people from india & pakistan they are offering a lot of schlorships (e.g pakistan overseas scholarship,swedish scholarship,eramus mundas scholarship..etc..) moreover students from india & pakistan does not need to take TOFEL or IELTS ...The only big disadvantages is cost of living is very high (about 8000 kronas/month) if money is not an big issue you can very well try it.The admission is held through the swedish official website www.studera.nu

Hi sattar

Full-time students are entitled to work in Sweden for the duration of their student visa (you don't need a seperate work permit). For your housing costs, books and other living expenses you should count in about SEK 7000 to SEK 8000 a month. Students from outside EU must obtain a student VISA, in which they can show that they can pay for their living expenses in Sweden during their studies: www.migrationsverket.se "

For an MBA program I would recommend the Stockholm School of Economics (Equis accredited)

Best of luck to you

Editor - Accredited MBA Programs

Sweden will soon be getting rid of free tuition for international students, if they haven't done so already.

Also, Stockholm School of Economics only offers part-time Executive MBA programs.

Jönköping International is not AACSB-accredited, nor does it offer an MBA.

thank you for the helpful input Evan.

Yes the tuition in Sweden was free but not for MBA programs, only for BSc, MSc and PhD. It was subsidized by the government until now. Starting 2011, Swedish business schools will start charging non EU students. However, it remains free for EU citizens.
