A new funding window has officially opened for global students aiming to study in Sweden, as Halmstad University announces its competitive scholarship opportunities for the 2026–2027 academic cycle. This news post breaks down everything international applicants need to know—what these scholarships offer, who can apply, how selection works, and until when the application window will remain open.
These scholarships are designed to support highly qualified students outside the EU/EEA and Switzerland who are applying to Master’s programmes at Halmstad University for Autumn 2026.
What This Opportunity Offers
Halmstad University provides partial tuition-fee scholarships that significantly reduce the financial burden for international students:
- Covers 25% or 50% of the tuition fee
- Deducted directly from your invoice
- Valid for the entire study duration (2–4 semesters), subject to academic progress
- Open to any Master’s programme at Halmstad University
- Does not cover living expenses or family support
Scholarship renewal requires strong academic performance—holders must successfully complete at least 75% of credits each semester to retain the award. In addition to Halmstad University’s own scholarships, international applicants may separately apply for prestigious Swedish Institute Scholarships, such as:
- SI Scholarship for Global Professionals
- SI Scholarship for Pioneering Women in STEM
Each of these SI programs follows its own eligibility rules and deadlines, accessible through the Swedish Institute website.
