General information

There are different rules depending on what country you are from.

Applicants from the European Union (EU), European Economic Area (EEA) and Switzerland:
Blekinge Institute of Technology (BTH) does not charge any tuition fees for students with a citizenship within the EU/EEA and Switzerland. Information for British citizens regarding Brexit can be found on Universityadmissions web site.

Applicants from countries outside the European Union (EU), European Economic Area (EEA) and Switzerland
Students with citizenship in a country outside the EU/EEA and Switzerland are required to pay both application and tuition fees. To find out if you are required to pay tuition fees, please read the information on Universityadmissions.

Students that started a course or programme at BTH before 1 July 2011, had the opportunity to finish that course or programme without paying tuition fees until December 31st, 2018 (Transitional  regulations 2010:543). If the studies were not completed by December 31st, 2018, students are now required to pay tuition fee.

Information for students from Iran
Due to international regulations, Swedish universities are currently prohibited to pay money to Iran. This might affect you if you require a repayment, so you should be mindful about which account you choose to make a payment from. We recommend that you choose a payment method that works if a refund has to be made.

Villkor_för_stipendier_och_studieavgifter

How much you should pay is dependent on the course/programme you are admitted to. The information is available in BTH.se or, once the application period opens in www.universityadmissions.se

If you have been admitted to a one or two year programme you are expected to pay one whole semester in advance.

If you have been admitted to a single subject course, you have to pay for a whole course in advance.

Included in the tuition fees are studies and study related issues such as study administration, study counselling, access to the student health professionals at BTH, library access, study and computer labs, etc.

Fake invoices

We’ve received information that some applicants have received an invoice for tuition fees from Universityadmissions.se. University Admissions, Universityadmissions.se and the Swedish Council for Higher Education (UHR) never send invoices to students. Please note:

• BTH do not send invoices. Students receive their payment information via their BTH tuition fee account
• Application fees are paid at Universityadmissions

If you receive an invoice saying it’s from Universityadmissions.se, University Admissions, or UHR, please be sure to contact us. You can find contact information at University Admissions Support Centre.

Residence permit fees

Students have previously been contacted regarding their residence permit applications. The callers have claimed to be calling from an embassy and/or referred to https://government.se/.

Applications for residence permits (including extensions) are handled only by the Swedish Migration Agency. The Swedish Migration Agency, or the Swedish Embassy, never discuss fees or other money issues over the phone.

If you have received a suspicious phone call, kindly contact the International Office at BTH as well as the Swedish Migration Agency or the the Swedish Embassy.
