Since 2011, the Swedish universities receive full cost recovery for students who do not the citizen is in any EEA country or Switzerland. Linnaeus University has had the same tuition fees since then, but as of this fall changed the charges.
– We have lagged behind, in fact, the fees shall be increased each year but there is a large administrative apparatus. The overall cost position has also increased, said admissions officer Stefan Haglund at LNU.
The fees will also cover university costs such as administration and recruitment efforts abroad. The reason that certain fees are reduced, as nursing programs, is to put the flat-rate fees in 2011.
– We do not care courses in English, the chance of paying foreign students to show up there is small.
Is it the right way going to raise prices if they want to attract more students?
– It is never good to be the cheapest in its class, price and quality must hang together, says Stefan Haglund.
