The University of Gothenburg is a public Swedish university, so — like every public university in Sweden — it charges no tuition to EU/EEA citizens, Swedish residence-permit holders and exchange students; for them the MSc in Management is tuition-free. Non-EU/EEA students pay 192,000 SEK in total (48,000 SEK per semester across the four semesters), roughly €16,700 at mid-2026 exchange rates, plus a one-off 900 SEK application fee through universityadmissions.se. That makes it one of the most affordable Triple-Crown routes into a Master in Management for European applicants — see where it lands in how much a MiM in Europe costs, the low-cost & tuition-free MiM guide and the cheapest AACSB-accredited MiMs. Living costs in Gothenburg are the real budget line — Sweden's Migration Agency sets a monthly maintenance figure you must show for a residence permit — so budget for those and confirm the current tuition and any scholarships on the school's own pages.

Frequently asked questions

How much does the University of Gothenburg MSc in Management cost?
It depends on your citizenship, and this is the programme's biggest draw. The University of Gothenburg is a public Swedish university, so — like every public university in Sweden — it charges no tuition at all to EU/EEA citizens, Swedish residence-permit holders and exchange students. If you fall into one of those groups, the two-year MSc in Management is tuition-free. Non-EU/EEA students pay 192,000 SEK in total (48,000 SEK per semester across the four semesters), which is roughly €16,700 at mid-2026 exchange rates, plus a one-off 900 SEK application fee paid through the national portal universityadmissions.se. Either way, living costs in Gothenburg are the main budget line to plan for — Sweden's Migration Agency publishes a monthly maintenance figure you must be able to show to get a residence permit. Confirm the current tuition and any scholarships on the school's own pages, as figures change each cycle.
Is the University of Gothenburg's business school accredited, and how is it ranked?
Yes — the School of Business, Economics and Law at the University of Gothenburg holds all three major international accreditations, EQUIS, AACSB and AMBA, the 'Triple Crown' that only around a hundred business schools worldwide carry together. It was founded in 1923 as a private business school and is now part of the University of Gothenburg, one of Sweden's largest universities. On rankings we are deliberately careful: the MSc in Management is not currently listed with its own position in the Financial Times Masters in Management table, and we could not verify a specific QS Business Masters: Management position for it, so — as we do elsewhere — we do not quote a programme rank we cannot source. Judge it on its Triple-Crown accreditation, its research standing and fit rather than a single league-table number.
Where is the programme, when does it start, and how do I apply?
The MSc in Management is taught in Gothenburg (Göteborg), Sweden's second-largest city, entirely in English, with a single autumn intake that starts at the end of August. You apply through Sweden's national admissions portal, universityadmissions.se, rather than to the university directly — you create one account, can rank up to four programme choices, and submit one set of documents. Applications open in mid-October and the first-round deadline is 15 January for the following August start; international and other fee-paying applicants should treat that first round as their real deadline, since later rounds mainly release remaining open places. Non-EU/EEA applicants also pay a 900 SEK application fee. Confirm the exact current-cycle dates on universityadmissions.se and the programme page before you apply.
