There are two ways to pay your tuition: via credit card or by bank transfer. If you've been admitted in March/April 2023 please go to Ladok for Students to access your first invoice.

Online payment using a credit card 

If you've been admitted in March/April 2023 please go to Ladok for Students to access your first invoice.

To pay with a credit card, go to the Pay-Online service below. VISA and MasterCard are accepted in the online payment service.

Your bank must have 3D secure version 2 in order for you to make your card payment. It is an extra security that was introduced on 1 January 2021 that some banks outside the EU have not updated.

How to pay your tuition fee

To enable us to match your payment with your application, please make sure to include your University Admissions application number or the invoice number with your payment.

Payment by bank transfer

If you've been admitted in March/April 2023 please go to Ladok for Students to access your first invoice.

Payment transactions must include the following information, to enable us to match your payment with your application: first name, surname, invoice number and your University Admissions application number.

Bank transfers can take a long time. Please follow these steps carefully:

1. Inform your bank about the deadline for payment and that Linköping University must have received your payment by the deadline.

2. Make sure that the transferred amount covers the tuition fee in SEK, regardless of any bank or exchange fees that may apply. Students are expected to meet the tuition fee costs at the SEK value, no shortfalls due to exchange fee fluctuations are permitted.

Application for a residence permit and tuition fees

Until you have paid your fees, any application for a Swedish residence permit is incomplete. You should pay your tuition fees before you apply. It can take around three months for the Swedish Migration Agency to process an application for a residence permit. The Swedish Migration Agency will see in their system that your tuition fees are paid when they open your application.

Scholarship holders

If you have been granted a partial LiU International scholarship of 25-75%, pay the outstanding amount following the instructions above and then apply for a residence permit. When applying for a residence permit, attach the PDF showing recipients of the scholarship to your application to the Swedish Migration Agency (this will be posted to the LiU International Scholarship page).

Scholarships

If you are a recipient of a scholarship from the Swedish Institute, the information will be passed to LiU directly and you do not need to pay any tuition fees. Please apply for a residence permit as soon as you have received confirmation of your scholarship.

When to pay

* If you are offered admission in March/April (international programmes): 

You will receive information on how to pay via email. We encourage you to pay as soon as possible after receiving your admission result so that you can start applying for a residence permit. The payment must be received by LiU no later than 15 May

* If you are offered admission in July or later (other programmes/courses):

You must pay your tuition fee within 10 days of receiving your admission offer. All necessary information will be included in your notification on your account at universityadmissions.se, no separate email will be sent out.

It is very important that you pay your tuition fees by the deadlines specified. The full amount must be paid within the deadline, division into further instalments is not accepted. If LiU has not received your payment by the payment due date, you will lose your study offer at Linköping University. Please note that bank transfers can take a long time.

Future payments

Once you are an enrolled student, you will need to pay tuition fees for each semester in advance. The payment must be received by LiU by the set deadlines. The full amount must be paid within the deadline, instalments are not accepted.

These are the tuition fee deadlines for a two-year programme, for your reference:

  • Semester 2 tuition: 15 December
  • Semester 3 tuition: 10 August
  • Semester 4 tuition: 15 December

If you have not received an invoice one month before the deadline, you should contact tuitionfees@liu.se.

Please note, that students who do not pay their tuition fees for subsequent semesters by the deadlines will be suspended.

FAQ

Will I receive a payment confirmation? 

As soon as your payment has been registered by LiU, you will receive a short confirmation message by email.

Do I need to inform the Swedish Migration Agency that I have paid my tuition fee? 

No. The Swedish Migration Agency will get that information from LiU electronically.

If I want to pay in USD or Euro?

Yes, you can pay in Euro or USD. However, make sure you add extra money to pay for the exchange fee so you don't fall short of the full fee payment.

If you end up paying more than expected in the first instalment then this amount will be deducted on your next payment.

If I fail a course and need to re-register, do I have to pay for the course once more?

No. Once you have paid for one course you do not have to pay again when you re-register for the same course.

I'm already a student at LiU. What if I forget to pay my invoice for the next semester?

To continue your studies, the tuition fee for the next semester must be paid in full by the set deadline. Students who do not pay the tuition fee will be suspended. If you miss the deadline and pay late, we cannot guarantee that you will be allowed to continue your studies.

My tuition fee status has changed. What do I need to do? 

If your student status changes, you need to submit documents that certify the change, you will find more information here: https://liu.se/en/article/change-of-tuition-fee-status

If you are unable to provide sufficient evidence, the fee-payer status will remain unchanged.

What if my fee-payer status changes after I have payed the tuition fee?

You might be eligible for a refund from the date stated on the decision.
