The Malmö University Master’s Scholarship supports high-achieving international students who must pay tuition fees. The scholarship applies to students enrolling in English-taught Master’s programmes at Malmö University in Sweden. It aims to attract talented students from outside the EU/EEA and Switzerland. The scholarship reduces the financial burden of tuition, allowing scholars to focus on advanced studies within a diverse and global academic community.
Background and Purpose
Malmö University awards this merit-based scholarship to recognize academic excellence, personal motivation, and social engagement. The scholarship promotes internationalization and strengthens the university’s global academic environment. It encourages talented students to develop professional skills, expand research experience, and contribute to Malmö’s multicultural campus.
Master’s Scholarship Benefits
The university offers a limited number of scholarships each year. Awards may cover partial or full tuition fees for one- or two-year Master’s programmes. The scholarship does not cover living expenses, accommodation, travel costs, or other personal expenses. Recipients must arrange these costs independently. For two-year programmes, the university continues the scholarship into the second year if students complete the first year and meet progression criteria, including at least 22.5 credits per semester and 45 credits per academic year.
Eligibility Criteria
Applicants must apply during the first admissions round and choose an eligible English-taught Master’s programme as their priority on UniversityAdmissions.se.

Master’s Scholarship Application Process
After receiving an admission offer, eligible students receive an invitation to apply for the scholarship through Malmö University’s internal system. Applicants must submit a CV and a motivational statement that highlights academic achievements and community involvement. The university typically sends selection notifications by the end of April each year.
