Chalmers University Scholarships 2027 in Sweden for International Students

Chalmers University of Technology in Gothenburg is one of Sweden's leading universities for engineering, technology and science. Chalmers offers two scholarships for international master's students from outside the EU/EEA who have to pay tuition fees in Sweden.

Scholarships available

Adlerbert Study Scholarship

• Covers 100% of tuition fees for the two-year master's programme (four semesters)
• For citizens of 143 eligible countries (Chalmers publishes the list on its scholarship page)
• 4 scholarships awarded

IPOET Scholarship

• Covers 75% of tuition fees for the two-year master's programme
• Students who do very well in their first year may get an 85% reduction in their second year
• About 35 scholarships awarded

Both scholarships cover tuition only. They do not include a living allowance, so you'll need to plan how to pay your living costs in Sweden. Non-EU students also need to show proof of funds for the residence permit.

Who can apply

• Citizens of non-EU/EEA countries who must pay tuition fees in Sweden
• Applying for the first year of any Chalmers master's programme starting in August 2027
• An excellent bachelor's degree record

How selection works

Scholarships are awarded mainly on academic excellence, including:

• Your weighted average grade
• The standing of your home university, including global rankings
• The priority order of your Chalmers programme choices on universityadmissions.se (put Chalmers first to improve your chances)

How to apply

1. Apply to at least one Chalmers master's programme on universityadmissions.se between 16 October 2026 and 15 January 2027.
2. Note your application number from universityadmissions.se.
3. Submit the Chalmers scholarship application through the official scholarship page, using your application number, by 15 January 2027. The scholarship form usually opens in late November.
4. Upload your documents (degree certificate, transcripts, English test results and passport) to universityadmissions.se by the document deadline, usually early February.
5. Pay the application fee (SEK 900) on universityadmissions.se, unless you're exempt.

Key dates

Tips

• Rank Chalmers as your first choice, because the priority order of your choices counts in selection.
• Check the Adlerbert country list to see whether you qualify for the full tuition scholarship.
• Also apply for the Swedish Institute Scholarship for Global Professionals (SISGP), which covers tuition and living costs. Its application usually runs in February.
• Plan your living costs, since these scholarships don't include a stipend.
• Applying for Chalmers scholarships is free. Never pay anyone who promises a guaranteed award.
