Tuition fee payment
As a student from outside the EU/EEA and Switzerland, one of the first things you need to do when being admitted to Halmstad University is to pay the tuition fee.
Tuition fees for international students
Invoice
Tuition fee-paying students are admitted on the condition that the tuition fee has been paid. The tuition fee is paid per semester and before each semester starts. If payment is not made on time, the admission will be cancelled.
Once you have received notification of your admission to Halmstad University, you will receive an email with instructions on how to log in and download your invoice in Ladok for students.
You must write the reference number stated in the invoice and the student's name when you make the payment. We need the reference number to be able to verify your payment.
Payment conditions
You can pay the fee by bank transfer or online payment by credit card. The cards we accept are Visa, MasterCard, and Maestro.
If you want to pay online by credit card, please use the form via below link.
The fee is to be paid in Swedish kronor (SEK), and the student is responsible for their own bank charges; please make sure that the fee payment covers the bank charges and/or currency differences. We do not accept payment in instalments.
Please note that special payment rules apply if the original payment has been made from an account in Iran. Due to international regulations, it is currently not permitted for Swedish universities to transfer money to Iran. Before you make the payment, we recommend that you choose an account or a payment method which the university can use if a refund must be made. Please also make sure that this payment method will work to pay the tuition fee during the entire study period.

Do I need to pay if I have been awarded a scholarship?

For students awarded a scholarship by the Swedish Institute (SISGP), SI pays the tuition fee directly to the University.
Reimbursement of fees
The tuition fee can be reimbursed in the following scenarios:
- if your application for the residence permit is rejected

Apply for refund
You need to apply for a refund if your residence permit is rejected or you have not received the permit in time to start your studies.
The application for reimbursement must be in writing, and the application should be received during the current semester. Send your request for reimbursement to the Student Affairs Department. You will receive a link to an online application form you must fill out in order for us to process your application for a refund.
Please be aware that reimbursement is always made to the same account as the payment was originally made from. This applies regardless of whether you have paid from your own account or through another account holder.

Cancellation of the admission
If you cancel your admission and withdraw your application for a residence permit before August 19, 2024, you will be fully reimbursed (no administrative costs). After this date, the University will retain 5000 SEK for administrative expenses. If you are granted a residence permit or you have registered or attended classes, reimbursement is not possible.
