Erasmus+ Master Degree Loans are EU-guaranteed loans with favourable pay-back terms.

3. Scholarships for exchange students from the EU, EEA and Switzerland
If you are an exchange student, please contact your home university for information about which scholarships they provide.
The University of Skövde is part of the Erasmus+ Programme, which means that if the University of Skövde has a bilateral Erasmus+ agreement with your home institution, then you might be able to study here with an Erasmus+ grant.
We encourage you to pursue this option, since the Erasmus+ scholarships are often very generous.
