Refund policy
Refunds of the Uppsala University tuition fee are only possible if the student is unable to participate in the programme due to extenuating circumstances. This is regulated by section 12 in the Ordinance on application fees and tuition fees at higher education institutions, (2010:543). Please ensure you are certain about studying at Uppsala University before making the payment. Please note that Uppsala University does not offer refunds for financial reasons.
How to apply for refund
To apply for a refund, you must provide documentation confirming that you are unable to participate in the program.
Please refer to the application form below to see which documents are required based on your reason for applying. If any required documentation is missing, the tuition fee officers will contact you.
We recommend applying for a refund as soon as possible, as the bank may deduct fees for transactions older than ten months.

If the application is approved
If you have been granted a refund, the amount is always transferred back to the same account as the payment was originally made from. This rule applies whether you have paid from your own account or through another account holder.
After receiving a positive decision, it typically takes about a month for the refund to reach the original account. In some cases, it may take longer, and we cannot provide an exact timeline.
Repayment to Iran
Due to international regulations, it is currently not allowed for Swedish universities to transfer money to Iran. Please keep this in mind when making a payment to Uppsala University and be mindful of the account you use. Refunds are always issued to the same account from which the payment was originally made. We recommend choosing a payment method that will still allow for a refund if necessary.
