The Swedish government suggests that tuition fees be introduced from the academic year 2011-2012 for citizens from non-EU/EES countries. The Ministry for Higher Education recently confirmed that the proposal also includes an expanded scholarship system, offering additional scholarship opportunities for applicants from these countries.
Under the current system, tuition fees for university education are fully subsidized by the government, for both Swedish and international students. The new system is to be put in effect in order to ensure the high quality of Swedish education and to maintain a high proportion of international students through the increase of scholarship programs for international applicants.
Students who have started a course or study program before the introduction of tuition fees would not be charged tuition fees for the duration of the course or study program in question. In other words, students who have started a program in 2010 will not be affected by the fees, even if they participate in a program that spans over 2011, or longer. Students from the EU/EES region will continue to abide by the same rules as Swedish students in accordance with EU legislation.
This information will be updated and supplemented on www.studyinsweden.se as soon as the proposal is introduced formally by the Swedish government — including more specific information about scholarship opportunities.

The number of Chinese students attending Swedish universities has approximately doubled in the past two years. Therefore there is an increased demand for information in Chinese about Swedish higher education.
To accommodate the growing number of Chinese students taking an interest in studying in Sweden, StudyinSweden.se is now available in a condensed version in simplified Chinese.
The aim of the new site in Chinese is to provide an introduction to studying in Sweden; as well as to supply information that is of particular interest to Chinese students, parents, teachers, university employees and others that are interested in higher education in Sweden. You will also learn what some Chinese students have to say about studying in Sweden and find answers to some of the frequently asked questions about studying in Sweden from a Chinese perspective.
The Chinese pages of Studyinsweden.se can be accessed at www.studyinsweden.se/china.
Feel free to give me feedback on the new web pages.
