SSMF Scholarship Sweden - Uppsala University

The Swedish Foundation for International Cooperation in Research and Higher Education (STINT) and Uppsala University offer the SSMF (Swedish Society of Medicine Foundation) Scholarship for international PhD students in life sciences and medicine. Sweden is consistently ranked as one of the best countries in the world for quality of life, innovation, and research output. Uppsala University, founded in 1477, is Scandinavia's oldest university and offers a unique combination of centuries-old academic tradition and cutting-edge modern research. The scholarship covers full tuition fees, a tax-free monthly stipend of SEK 15,000-18,000, and subsidized student housing. PhD students at Uppsala are fully integrated into research groups and contribute to internationally published research from day one. Sweden's strong public services, including free healthcare and childcare, make it particularly attractive for international students with families. The research environment at Uppsala is highly collaborative, with strong connections to Swedish biotech and pharmaceutical industry leaders.
