Linnaeus University Scholarship 2024-25 for International Students

Linnaeus University offers scholarships to outstanding international students through two programs: the Linnaeus University Scholarship and the Linnaeus University Scholarship for Current Students. These scholarships aim to support students from outside the EU/EEA and Switzerland who wish to pursue a master’s degree at the university.

Linnaeus University was established in 2010 through the merger of two previously existing institutions: Växjö University and Kalmar University. This unification aimed to create a more robust and versatile academic environment, leveraging the strengths and resources of both universities to enhance educational and research capabilities. It has created a dynamic and forward-looking university that meets the needs of students and society in the 21st century.
