The academy also offers a variety of guest lectures and international collaborations.

Requirements

Bachelor of Fine Arts or equivalent is required. Selection is according to artistic merit and is based on a portfolio, written statement of purpose and interview.
Most of Lund University’s programmes require English Level 6 (unless otherwise stated under Entry requirements). This is the equivalent of an overall IELTS score of 6.5 or a TOEFL score of 90. There are several ways to prove your English language proficiency - check which proof is accepted at the University Admissions in Sweden website. All students must prove they meet English language requirements by the deadline, in order to be considered for admission.

Grants and Scholarships

International students who come to Malmö Art Academy to take a Master’s degree contribute new ideas, cross-boundary perspectives and an injection of creativity. The ‘global classroom’ also promotes collaborations and international networks. Non-European students can apply for the Lund University Global Scholarship Programme. Scholarships are available to cover 25 %, 50 %, 75 % or 100 % of the tuition fees. Please note that scholarships only cover tuition fees and not living costs.
