Can I study a master’s in travel and tourism in Sweden within a budget of 5 lakhs INR?

Please be aware that the housing situation at the more popular universities can be dire – we are talking here especially about Uppsala, Lund, and the bigger cities of Stockholm and Göteborg. The budget is based on a student room; regular housing will be a lot more expensive.
You can take those SEK 13,000 per month as a baseline; you will probably have somewhat higher costs as a foreign student since it’s not like you can pop back home to e.g. borrow an iron for your shirts. Add tuition fee for whatever studies you are interested in.
As far as I can figure out, this is equivalent to some 65,000 SEK.
Excluding tuition from the calculations altogether, it will cover a student room, but will require an incredibly strict food budget and nothing in the way of clothing, &c. Swedish students have a basic budget of SEK 13,000 per month, to cover rent, food, clothes, various odds and ends, and coursebooks.
Per month, it’s a luxury lifestyle. For a year, it’s probably about 50% of the tuition fee for a non-EU student (it will vary by university).
Thanks for the A2A.
