Tuition fees
fees
For studies at Malmö University, some students are required to pay application and tuition fees. This website contains programme price lists, a step-by-step guide on the payment process, accepted payment methods, and information about refunds.
About fees
Students with citizenship in countries outside of the European Union (EU), European Economic Area (EEA) and Switzerland are generally required to pay application and tuition fees.
Swedish citizens, as well as citizens of other EU/EEA countries or Switzerland, are not required to pay application and tuition fees. As an EU/EEA or Swiss citizen, you must upload documentation showing your citizenship to your application on University Admissions.
Find out more on who is required to pay fees (Universityadmissions.se)
Due to the requirements of the Swedish Migration Agency, students required to pay tuition fees need to pay their first tuition fee instalment – for the first semester of studies – before submitting a residence permit application for studies in higher education to the Swedish Migration Agency.
Fee-paying students are subject to the same services, rights and obligations as non-fee-paying students, such as study and career counselling, student health care, disability services, access to library and university facilities.
Tuition fees do not apply for exchange students, PhD students or EU/EEA students.
What does the tuition fee cover?
For programme students, the tuition fee covers:
- full-time studies on bachelor’s or master’s level, 60 credits per academic year;
- an accommodation offer from University Housing (rent is not included);
- one Swedish or English language course;
- comprehensive insurance (FAS by Kammarkollegiet) and
- administrative services.
If you want to decline your place
If you have been admitted to a course/programme but don't wish to accept your place, please make sure to decline it at Universityadmissions.se. Log in to your account, go to Applications and follow the instructions.
Please also notify Malmö University by sending an email to tuitionfees@mau.se. This is important as it notifies the University that you won't be attending and also makes the place free for someone on the waiting list.

Refunds

Other extraordinary circumstances
You are also eligible for a refund for the upcoming semester if you submit a refund application (see below) to Malmö University at the latest on the day before the start of the semester for one of the following reasons:
- You have been conditionally admitted to a master’s programme because you had not yet received a bachelor's degree certificate at the time of application, and you do not meet the requirement to hold a degree by the start of the semester.
- The programme syllabus contains admissions requirements for continuation to the upcoming semester and you do not meet the admissions requirements.
- Your fee status changes (Note: if your fee status changes during the semester, refund for that ongoing semester is not possible).
- You receive a scholarship and have already paid your tuition fee.
- You have been granted a credit transfer exceeding 15 credits (Note: If you have remaining semesters, the amount will be deducted from your next invoice. If it is your last semester, the amount will be refunded to you).
General rules for refunds
- By paying the tuition fee, the student agrees to Malmö University’s tuition fee refund policy.
- All refund applications must be submitted through the online form.
- An individual assessment is always made to determine whether a refund of the tuition fee can be granted.
- Refund requests for amounts lower than 1,000 SEK are never processed, regardless of the circumstances.
How to apply for a tuition fee refund
Submit the form below to apply for a tuition fee refund. A decision on your refund application is normally made within 4 weeks.
Refund payments are always made in SEK and Malmö University does not take into account changes in the exchange rate.
Processing time
The processing time can take longer if you submit a refund application in August-September. You will be notified of the decision by email. The total processing time for the refund to reach your account might be longer if you paid by international bank transfer.
Approved refunds
Approved refunds are always made to the same account from which the payment was originally made.
If the payment was made by card, the refund will be made to the same card. If the payment was made by bank transfer, the refund will be made to the same account. This rule applies regardless of whether you have paid from your own card/account or through another card/account holder. No exception to this rule can be made.
Payment and repayment of fees to and from Belarus, Iran and Russia
Due to international regulations, it is currently not allowed for Swedish universities to conduct monetary transactions with Belarus, Iran and Russia. You should be aware of this when you make a payment to Malmö University, and be conscious about the account you choose to make the payment from. A reimbursement is always made to the same account the payment was originally made from. Consequently, we recommend that you choose a payment method that works even if a refund must be made.
