LiU International Scholarship

Linköping University (LiU) offers a limited number of scholarships to outstanding international students. For some programmes and nationalities, it is also possible to apply for a scholarship through the Swedish Institute. There are also other funding opportunities for studies in Sweden.

The tuition fees for a student awarded a LiU International Scholarship are normally reduced by 50%. 

For students on a master's programme, the scholarship/fee normally covers a workload of 30 credits per semester as long as the courses are included in the programme. For any additional courses beyond 30 credits, there will be an additional fee.

• Please note that new scholarship eligibility criteria have been introduced. Only applicants who meet the minimum academic standards outlined below will be considered for LiU scholarships.
• Applicants must have a GPA of 3.5 or higher on a 4.0 scale, a first or high second class degree, or an equivalent average to be eligible.
• For example, this typically corresponds to 75% or above in India, 80–85% or above in China, or 8.0/10 or above in countries using a 10-point CGPA scale.
• Institutional rankings will be considered as part of the evaluation process.
  Applications which do not meet these minimum academic standards will not be considered.
