How to pay your tuition fees

Tuition fee payments are made in instalments before each semester begins on a set deadline. Linköping University (LiU) accepts one semester’s tuition fees at a time.

Note: This article is only applicable to fee-paying students. If you are unsure whether you are required to pay tuition fees for your studies at LiU, please read our article on fees:
Application and tuition fees

When to pay

* If you are offered admission in April: 

Newly admitted degree students will receive an e-mail with instructions regarding tuition fee payment, in mid-April, shortly after being accepted. No invoices will be issued.
Please note that payment is due no later than 1 June 2021.

* If you are offered admission in July or later:

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 the sent out.

It is very important that you pay your tuition fees by the deadlines specified. If you have not paid by the payment due date, you will lose your study offer at Linköping University.

Future payments

Once you are an enrolled student, you will need to pay tuition fees for each semester in advance. LiU has a set deadline for each payment. Your next instalment will be due on 15 December and you will receive an e-mail reminder in mid-November.

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

  • Semester 1 tuition: 10 June or 10 days after admission offer (depending on when admitted)
  • Semester 2 tuition: 15 December
  • Semester 3 tuition: 10 August
  • Semester 4 tuition: 15 December

Please note, that students who do not pay their tuition fees for subsequent semesters will no longer be allowed to enrol for courses or examinations. Enrolled students can read about their fees and find information about the next payment on LiU’s student website.

There are two ways to pay your tuition: via credit card or by bank transfer.

Online payment using a credit card 

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

To enable us to match your payment with your application, please make sure to use your University Admissions application number as your reference number.

Payment by bank transfer

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

Bank transfer 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 may arise.

Application for a residence permit and tuition fees

Until you have paid your fees, any application for a residence permit to Sweden 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.
