Universities in Sweden used to be Tuition Free for both EU and Non-EU(international students), until the beginning of the autumn semester 2011. Your question, then, as a prospective student thinking of studying abroad in Sweden could be, “what possible alternative is available”?

One can agree that schooling in Sweden is easier with the usual free tuition than scholarship. Scholarships are much more uncertain what with high competition, however, international students can still expend their energy to apply for Swedish study with available scholarships for foreign students.
