MDU has two campuses, in Västerås and Eskilstuna, in the Mälaren valley west of Stockholm. Both cities are about an hour from Stockholm by train and are home to major industrial companies, which helps with internships and jobs.
For international students
MDU welcomes students from Pakistan for English-taught bachelor's and master's programmes, and offers tuition-fee scholarships for fee-paying students.
Most English-taught programmes in Sweden start in late August. Applications for the autumn semester go through the national University Admissions in Sweden website (universityadmissions.se), and the main deadline is usually in mid-January. Students from outside the EU pay tuition fees, and many universities offer their own tuition-fee scholarships. After admission you apply for a Swedish residence permit for studies, which allows you to work while you study.
