Making use of student discounts will allow you to save money on a variety of services and products while you are in Sweden, including from shops and online retailers, at cafés and restaurants, gyms and museums, public transportation, and more.

How to get student discounts

In order to take advantage of the many student discounts available, you will need valid student identification. Your Malmö University multicard does NOT function as a valid student identification outside of the university, so you CANNOT use it to get student discounts.

Instead, you will need a student ID from one of the following options:

Student Union STUK (Student card/Studentkortet)

When becoming a member of the Student Union, you will get access to both the Student card STUK (Studentkortet) and the Mecenat card (mecenatkortet), which give you access to different student discounts. You can find more information and instructions for obtaining the cards on the Student Union's website.

Mecenat card

If you are not a member of the Student Union, you can still get the Mecenat card. You can find instructions for applying for a Mecenat card here.

To prove your status as a student, you will need to upload a certificate of registration from Ladok Student to show that you are currently enrolled in courses. You can find instructions for downloading study certificates on our FAQ page.

If you are using the student discount to travel with Skånetrafiken, it's also important to double check that your Studentkort or Mecenatkort has the student travel symbol.
