Örebro University Tuition Fee Scholarship

Örebro University, in central Sweden, offers tuition-fee scholarships to non-EU/EEA students admitted to its English-taught one- and two-year Master's programmes. Awards commonly reduce tuition by 25%, 50%, or 75%, applied across the programme, and are decided by academic ranking within the admitted international cohort. Örebro has well-regarded Master's in fields such as Information Technology, Applied Statistics, Robotics & Intelligent Systems, Global Journalism, and Sports Physiology, plus a strong medical and health-sciences profile. For Sri Lankan students, it's a solid mid-tier option: a first-class or strong upper-second Bachelor's in a relevant subject presents well. The tiers and number of awards are set each intake, so confirm the current terms for your programme before applying.

Who awards it

Örebro University — not Lanka Scholar. We are not the awarding body and cannot grant, reserve or guarantee this award.

how_to_reg

How you are considered

Through your admission application. Awards like this are usually assessed automatically from the application you already submit — there is typically no separate scholarship form to fill in.

What it covers

25%, 50%, or 75% Tuition Reduction. This is a reduction in tuition, not a full ride. You still fund the remainder, plus living costs and the balance your visa requires you to show.

Where we come in

We make the admission application strong enough to be competitive — course choice, documents, references and deadlines. The funder makes the decision.

fact_check Eligibility Criteria

Admission to an Eligible Master's

You must be admitted to an Örebro English-taught Master's programme participating in the scheme. The tuition reduction attaches to admission — typically no separate application is needed.

translate

English Proficiency

Typically IELTS Academic 6.5 (no band below 5.5) or TOEFL iBT 90. Sri Lankan applicants from an English-medium degree may qualify via an MOI/exemption route — check Örebro's language page for your programme.

account_tree Application Process

Apply via Universityadmissions.se

Submit your Master's application through the central Sweden admissions portal before the mid-January deadline, ranking your Örebro programme, and pay the SEK 900 application fee.

Automatic scholarship assessment

For most programmes the tuition scholarship is assessed from the same application and ranking. Check the programme page in case a short statement is required.

Admission and scholarship decision

Admission results are released in spring; the scholarship outcome (25%/50%/75%) is communicated with or shortly after the offer.

Accept and apply for the residence permit

Accept your place, then apply for the Swedish student residence permit via Migrationsverket, showing your offer, scholarship letter, and funds for the costs not covered.

Looking for a scholarship because of the cost?

Then start here instead. Scholarships are competitive, usually partial, and decided by someone else — they are the least reliable way to make studying abroad affordable. Your destination and course choice move the number far more, and both are entirely within your control.
