Make a life in Sweden
In Sweden, getting to know everyday life often includes fika: taking time for coffee or tea and conversation with friends. An interest in nature and cultural traditions offers more ways to spend time together. English is widely spoken, which can make everyday communication easier for international students. Weather differs between the north and south, so plan your clothing and outdoor activities around the city where you will study.

Plan for the whole experience
In Sweden, budget in SEK using actual housing costs. KTH’s student examples show substantial differences by accommodation and lifestyle, rather than one budget that fits everyone.
- Tuition & study
Check tuition and application-fee liability, including nationality and possible exemptions, through University Admissions.
- Everyday budget
Itemise rent, food, transport and insurance, checking whether utilities and internet are included.
- Getting started
Set aside funds for deposits, household items and possible temporary housing; join housing queues early.
- Funding & budgeting
Home cooking, second-hand shopping and student discounts can lower costs; retain a buffer for unexpected expenses.
Figures are estimates from official guides; confirm current amounts with your institution and accommodation provider.
Admission & student visas for Sweden
Check Sweden’s general and programme-specific entry requirements. Most non-EU/EEA students need a residence permit for longer studies.
- Admission & enrolment
Secure final admission to full-time, on-site studies and pay applicable tuition before applying for residence.
- Documents & preparation
Prepare your passport, admission decision and maintenance evidence; check comprehensive health insurance for studies under one year.
- Visa & residence process
Apply to the Swedish Migration Agency and obtain the required residence permit before travelling.
The route and documents depend on your nationality, course and circumstances; check the official current checklist before applying.
