Imagine not paying for your studies at all. How wonderful that thought is and how much money it will save you? You must have totally thought about it and even applied for a lot of scholarships. But it's safe to say that scholarships are also very competitive and only the students who were highly meritorious get these scholarships. Sweden is one of the most expensive countries in the world when it comes to studying and accommodation. The tuition fee for native students and students from any of the EU countries is free. After a lot of research, we have listed down some of the universities that offer free education or charge minimal fees to international students.
