As a Swedish public university, Lund charges no tuition to citizens of the EU, EEA or Switzerland — the programme is effectively free for them. Students from outside the EU/EEA pay SEK 160,000 for the one-year programme (two instalments of SEK 80,000) plus a one-off SEK 900 application fee. Both figures were re-confirmed against Lund's own pages in August 2026, unchanged. Living costs in Lund, not tuition, are the main expense for European students, which makes this one of the best-value FT-ranked master's in Europe.
Tuition for the Lund University Master in Management is Free for EU/EEA/Swiss; SEK 160,000 total for non-EU/EEA, full-time for the 12 months program.

- International Strategic Management — official programme page (SEK 160,000 whole programme, first payment SEK 80,000; no tuition for EU/EEA/Swiss citizens). SELECTION CHECKED 2026-09-11 (P24e): the no-test tier is confirmed — no admission test appears in either half of "Requirements and selection" — and the two halves are quoted here because this profile previously ran them together. Entry requirements: "An undergraduate degree (BA/BSc) with at least 60 ECTS credits in business administration. English course 6 (advanced proficiency)." Selection criteria: "Selection will be based on academic merits from previous university studies and a Statement of Purpose in which applicants state their reasons for applying to the programme." The 60 ECTS is therefore an eligibility threshold, not a ranked criterion ↗ — Lund University
