Malmö University College: the applicant's brief

6 findings
  1. The short answer

    Malmö University College is a public university in Sweden that suits students looking for study in migration, international relations, political science, sustainability, urban studies, or new media and technology. It also fits applicants who want a place with international exchange links and a student body with many international backgrounds.

  2. What you can study

    Study focuses on migration, international relations, political science, sustainability, urban studies, and new media and technology. Courses often include internship and project work in close cooperation with external partners, so it is a practical option if you want study tied to outside organisations and applied work.

  3. Getting in

    International applicants should apply through the university’s official admissions process and check the website for current entry requirements, deadlines, and document lists. The university has exchange agreements with more than 240 partner universities, but exchange study and degree admission are different routes, so confirm which route applies to you before applying.

  4. What it costs

    The university does not publish a tuition fee in the information available; confirm the current rate with its admissions office. Living costs in Malmö should still be planned for separately, including housing, food, transport, and study materials.

  5. Coming from abroad

    Instruction language is not stated, so confirm the language of instruction for your programme on the official website before applying. Roughly a third of students have an international background, and the university has more than 240 partner universities, but you should still check visa needs, housing options, health insurance, and whether your qualifications match the entry route you want.

  6. How it compares

    With 36 universities in Sweden, Malmö University stands in the middle of a fairly crowded national landscape, but it is clearly distinct for its public status, international mix, and subject focus. If you want a Swedish university with strong links to external partners and programmes tied to social issues, urban questions, and new media, it is more specific than many general universities in the country.
