Frequently Asked Questions — Sweden
What is the Swedish Institute Scholarship?

It's available for Master's programs at Swedish universities. Pakistani citizens with at least 3,000 hours of professional work experience and strong academic records are eligible.

How expensive is Sweden for Pakistani students?
Sweden is one of the more expensive Nordic countries. Tuition ranges from SEK 80,000–180,000/year (~USD 7,500–17,000). Living costs are approximately USD 1,000–1,400/month in Stockholm (less in smaller cities). The SI Scholarship covers these costs in full for recipients. Sweden has no restrictions on work hours for international students, which helps offset costs.
