Post-study

Sweden offers Kathmandu students research-led universities such as KTH and Lund, with strong programmes in sustainability, IT and engineering, all taught in English at master's level. It also opens the wider Nordic region.

Non-EU tuition of €8,000–€18,000 a year is significant, and the Migrationsverket permit can take up to twelve weeks, so early application and clear funding are essential. Nepali files are often handled via New Delhi.

Transcript steps and the Migrationsverket route from Nepal

The residence permit for studies is decided by Migrationsverket, the Swedish Migration Agency, with biometrics and supporting documents typically arranged through the Swedish mission serving Nepal in New Delhi.
