The Malmö University Scholarships are a suite of scholarships offered by Malmö University to support qualified international students from outside the EU/EEA and Switzerland in covering the cost of their studies. There are two primary Malmö University-administered scholarships: the Malmö University Master’s Scholarship, which is available to prospective students who have applied for and been admitted to an English-taught Master’s programme as their first choice, and is awarded based on academic merit, experience, and motivation; and the Malmö University Excellence Scholarship (MUES), which is available to current fee-paying students who are performing with excellence in their studies and entering their second or third year of a programme. In addition, Malmö University is a participating institution in the US Government Federal Student Aid Finance Program, making it possible for eligible US students to access federal loans and deferrals.
