Mid Sweden University Tuition Fee Scholarship

Mid Sweden University (Mittuniversitetet) is a public university with campuses in Sundsvall and Östersund in central Sweden, offering English-taught Master's programmes in areas such as computer engineering, ecotechnology and sustainable development, tourism, sports science, and business. For non-EU/EEA students, who pay tuition in Sweden, the university runs its own tuition-fee scholarships that cover a portion — up to the full amount for the strongest candidates — of the tuition fee, awarded on academic merit to admitted Master's applicants. For Sri Lankan applicants who want an affordable, nature-close Swedish study environment with smaller cohorts and strong sustainability/tech programmes, Mid Sweden is a genuine, lower-competition option. As with all Swedish schemes, be clear that this reduces tuition only: you must still show and fund living costs for the Swedish residence permit, and the full-fee awards are limited. Apply through the national universityadmissions.se round and then follow the university's scholarship instructions.

Academic Merit

Reductions are awarded on academic performance and admission ranking. A strong, relevant Bachelor's from a recognised Sri Lankan university competes best for the larger reductions.

Admission to an Eligible Master's

You must first be admitted to a Mid Sweden University English-taught Master's participating in the scheme; the reduction attaches to admission.

English Proficiency

Swedish Master's require English 6 / IELTS ~6.5 (no band below 5.5) or equivalent, or an English-medium degree; a Sri Lankan MOI letter can help evidence English-medium study.

Why Mid Sweden University?

Mid Sweden University pairs a compact, welcoming international environment with genuine research strength in sustainability, forest and ecotechnology, sports science, and computer engineering, set amid central Sweden's lakes and forests. Smaller applicant pools can make its scholarships more attainable than at Sweden's largest universities.
