Study in Sweden
11 universities · 34 verified programmes
Sweden is a sustainability-science leader — Lund's LUMES and programmes at KTH, Chalmers and SLU dominate its listings, alongside public health at Karolinska. Public universities are tuition-free for EU/EEA students but charge international fees; the residence permit sets a clear monthly maintenance figure.
