Malmö University Scholarship

Malmö University, in Sweden's diverse third-largest city just across the bridge from Copenhagen, offers tuition-fee scholarships to talented non-EU/EEA students admitted to its English-taught Master's programmes.

Malmö is a young, urban and socially-engaged university strong in areas such as computer science and media technology, biomedical science, international relations and migration studies, public health, and sustainability. For Sri Lankan students, it offers a funded route into a Swedish Master's in a vibrant, international city with excellent links to the wider Öresund region, and outside the ultra-competitive Swedish Institute national scheme.
