Uppsala University Scholarships Admissions for Autumn 2027 Preparation Guide — Full tuition covered for eligible programmes

Uppsala University is preparing for its Autumn 2027 scholarship intake, with full-tuition scholarships available for eligible international students. The degree application period opens on 16 October 2026, while the scholarship application round is expected in early 2027. The final scholarship deadline has not yet been announced.

The current scholarship routes include:

Uppsala University Global Scholarship – for citizens outside the EU/EEA and Switzerland applying for eligible master’s programmes.
Anders Wall’s Scholarship – for citizens of African countries applying for eligible bachelor’s or master’s programmes.

Both scholarships cover full tuition fees, but they do not provide a living-cost stipend, travel grant or accommodation funding.

Who Can Apply?

Eligibility depends on citizenship, tuition-fee status, degree level and the programme selected.

The Global Scholarship is for fee-paying students from outside the EU/EEA and Switzerland applying for master’s studies. The Anders Wall Scholarship is available to fee-paying African citizens applying for eligible bachelor’s or master’s programmes.

Neither scholarship provides a PhD route.

Applicants should also check their chosen programme carefully because Uppsala currently excludes seven programmes from these scholarships, including certain programmes in environmental law, biology, evolutionary biology, sustainability, religion, game design and Turkic studies.

English Language Requirements

Most programmes require English level 2/English 6. One accepted route is IELTS Academic with 6.5 overall and no section below 5.5.

Other accepted forms of English evidence may apply depending on the programme and applicant’s previous studies.

What Does the Scholarship Cover?

The scholarships cover full tuition for an eligible international degree programme.

However, students must budget separately for living expenses in Sweden, including accommodation, food and travel. The source also notes that Uppsala advises students not to depend on part-time work to finance their studies.
