Lund University, one of Europe’s oldest and most prestigious institutions, offers the Lund University Global Scholarship for high-achieving non-EU/EEA students — including those from Pakistan. This merit-based scholarship provides partial to full tuition coverage for Bachelor’s and Master’s programs. For Pakistani students aspiring to study in Sweden, this is an excellent opportunity to access world-class education at significantly reduced financial cost. Each year, several academically outstanding Pakistani applicants are selected based on their past academic performance, motivation, and potential to contribute to the university's global community.
The scholarship does not cover living expenses, but recipients can apply separately for living cost support or part-time work in Sweden. The application process is competitive and requires students to first apply for admission through Sweden’s national application portal (universityadmissions.se) before applying for the scholarship. The deadline to apply for the scholarship is typically in February, soon after the university admission deadlines. Selection is handled by each faculty at Lund University, which ensures that the awards go to the most deserving candidates.
One of the strongest features of this scholarship is the flexibility of the coverage amounts—students may be awarded 25%, 50%, 75%, or even 100% of the tuition fee, depending on the strength of their application. This means even if a student doesn’t qualify for full funding, significant tuition relief is still possible. Lund University offers a broad range of programs, from Engineering and Science to Social Sciences and Humanities, giving Pakistani students many options to align their academic goals with their career ambitions.
Studying at Lund also means becoming part of a rich academic tradition and a vibrant student life. The university is located in southern Sweden, in a city known for its innovation, safety, and student-friendly atmosphere. For Pakistani students aiming for a globally recognized degree, enhanced career opportunities, and personal growth in a multicultural environment, the Lund University Global Scholarship is a pathway worth pursuing.
