Admission at a glance
Jonkoping University is run by a private foundation rather than the state, but non-EU, non-EEA and non-Swiss applicants still apply through universityadmissions.se, the same national portal used by every Swedish university, and pay a SEK 900 application fee confirmed directly on the university's own fees page. Its own page confirms that applications for autumn 2027 open on 16 October 2026, matching the national round, though it does not restate the 15 January closing date directly in the content retrieved and separately notes that some programs are processed on a rolling basis once opened, admitting applicants as soon as they meet entry requirements.
Jonkoping University's own tuition fees page, broken down by school, lists bachelor's programs from about SEK 99,000 a year at the School of Education and Communication up to about SEK 190,000 a year at the School of Health and Welfare, and master's programs from about SEK 120,000 to SEK 170,000 a year, all billed in installments matching the number of semesters. The Jonkoping International Business School, the university's largest school, charges around SEK 115,000 to 140,000 a year depending on the specific business program and its length.
Admission is based on documented academic merit against each program's requirements. Admitted fee paying students pay tuition ahead of enrollment, then apply for a residence permit for studies through Migrationsverket.
