The benefit is a partial waiver worth 50% of tuition fee, handled as a deduction from the invoice as per the official notification.

University of Skövde Master’s Scholarships 2027 Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility turns on citizenship, new-entrant status and a complete first-round programme application.

• Citizens of a country outside the EU/EEA and Switzerland
• New applicants for a campus-delivered master's programme at the University of Skövde; already admitted or enrolled master's students are not eligible
• Master's programme at the University of Skövde generally chosen as first priority on University Admissions
• Completed programme application meeting all first admission round deadlines, meeting entry requirements, paying application fee and submitting supporting documents by University Admissions deadline
• Awarding criteria are good academic merits, motivation text and video, plus other qualifications in line with priority educational, research areas and geographic location
• Scholarship applications must include motivation text and all required fields in online form

Only applicants from outside the EU/EEA and Switzerland are in scope, which includes India. The Skövde master’s should generally be the first-priority choice on University Admissions, because ranking affects how the Scholarship Committee views commitment to Skövde.

Who cannot use this form

Students already admitted to or enrolled in a Skövde master’s are excluded, even if they are changing tracks. Late or incomplete University Admissions files with missing entry proof, documents or fee also fall outside effective consideration, since the notice warns late programme applications have almost no chance.

University of Skövde Master’s Scholarships 2027 Important Dates and Deadline

The scholarship window runs from autumn 2026 into February 2027, with results in spring.

As per the official notification, the sequence matters more than any single date. The University Admissions fee deadline falls before the scholarship form closes, so the programme file must be finished early. The important dates table shows the start, scholarship close and result publication to plan around.

University of Skövde Master’s Scholarships 2027 Documents Required

The file is small but tightly linked: motivation text, video link and the University Admissions identifier tie the two applications together.

• Motivation text submitted via scholarship application form
• Two-minute video link viewable by Scholarship Committee
• 8-digit application number from www.universityadmissions.se

The text is typed directly into the scholarship form rather than uploaded, so formatting and length need to be settled before opening the form. The video is never downloaded by the committee and is judged only through the link, which makes sharing settings decisive. The 8-digit number must match the University Admissions account exactly, otherwise the scholarship cannot be paired with the programme choice.

Easy mistakes to avoid

• Locked cloud links or expired drives that ask for permission will fail review.
• A motivation text written for another university or a different Skövde programme weakens the merit read.
