How to pay your tuition fees

Confirmation of Payment

As soon as your payment has been registered by Linköping University, you will receive payment confirmation on your Ladok for Students account. Your admissions notification (Notification of Selection Results) is the only official admissions letter even after payment. Please note that your status at University Admissions will remain as Conditionally admitted.

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):

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.

The Second admissions round is the regular admissions round for students living in Sweden. If you were admitted in the Second admissions round, the deadline for paying the tuition fee is 10 days after the second admissions results have been published, which happens at the end of July.

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. Smaller instalments than one semester at a time 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 (will be changed to 1 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.
