Higher retention of foreign doctoral graduates in Sweden compared to master’s graduates

2026-03-02

Three years after completing their studies, just under six out of ten foreign doctoral graduates from the 2017–2020 cohort remained in Sweden. Among international students who completed a two-year master’s programme in Sweden in 2019, only around one third were still in the country three years later. For incoming students who completed a one-year master’s programme, retention was as low as 15 percent.
