Apply for our Scholarship

The University of Gothenburg Study Scholarship will be offered for the academic year 2012/2013. The scholarship is funded by the International Programme Office for Education and Training, which is a government agency that promotes academic exchanges and cooperation across national borders. The scholarship is aimed at applicants who have to pay tuition fees for their studies at the university.

Scholarship Coverage

Depending on what programme you apply to, the scholarship will cover half or more of the fee for the whole study programme. Applicants to master’s programmes at the Faculty of Fine, Applied and Performing Arts will be offered scholarships that cover the whole tuition fee. The amount granted will be deducted from the tuition fee. Please note that the scholarship does not cover other costs related to studies, such as accommodation or study materials.

Who can apply

• The scholarship is for students who have to pay tuition fees when they study in Sweden.
• Those who have made an application at universityadmissions.se within the deadline to one of the master’s programmes beginning in the autumn semester, 2012.

Scholarship offers are only valid for the specific admissions round – it is not possible to defer an offer to future admissions rounds.

Who cannot apply

•  The Categoy 1 target group for the Swedish Institute Study Scholarship is not eligible for the University of Gothenburg scholarship.
