Country planning

A little clarity.
A better next step.

Country planning

Entry requirements

  • Undergraduate: accepted secondary education, required subjects and programme language.
  • Postgraduate: a recognised suitable bachelor's and specified subject preparation; Machine Learning, for example, requires relevant mathematics and computing foundations.

Country planning

Teaching language & tests

  • Many master's degrees are English-taught; Swedish is common at bachelor's level and useful for work.
  • Verify accepted English evidence and all subject prerequisites.

Country planning

Major intakes

  • Autumn is the principal start, with selected spring options.
  • As one verified 2027 example, KTH Machine Learning applications run from 16 October 2026 to 15 January 2027; other programmes and rounds differ.

Country planning

Tuition & fee planning

  • KTH's current Machine Learning page lists SEK 385,000 for the complete two-year master's for fee-paying non-EU/EEA/Swiss students.
  • This is a programme-total example, not an annual fee or national average; exceptions and scholarships have separate rules.
Plan beyond tuition

Include tuition, accommodation, food, transport, health cover, travel, visa charges, deposits and required financial evidence. Confirm currency, annual increases and refund conditions. Do not assume part-time work will fund your education.

Scholarships: a separate timeline

Ask about university, government, programme and research funding. Awards have their own eligibility and closing dates and may cover only part of your costs. No scholarship is guaranteed by a counselling or application service.

Opportunity, with context

Understand the rules before making the move.

Student immigration

  • Non-EU degree students generally need a higher-education residence permit with full-time admission, applicable tuition payment, maintenance and other required evidence.

Work and future scope

  • For bachelor's/master's permits granted on or after 11 June 2026, the general semester limit is 15 hours weekly.
  • Summer, certain university/educational work and transitional situations have exceptions; check the permit's current rules.

Career outcomes depend on skills, experience, language, recognition, local demand and employer decisions. A degree is not a job, visa or permanent-residence guarantee.
