The Master's programmes present an opportunity for students with excellent academic performance to obtain a competitive Master's degree of the highest international standard.
The duration of the programmes is either one, or in most cases, two years. Courses generally start in late August and finish in the beginning of June. The programmes consist of course work followed by a degree project. The number of students accepted to each programme is limited.
As a consequence of decisions taken by the Swedish parliament 2011, tuition fees got introduced for non-EU/EEA/Swiss citizens. Read more about this under Fees and scholarships
