Dear James
Actually, I do not see why you think that the Lund Masters is free!
Tuition for EU/EEA citizens might be free, but one still has to pay to
go to Lund for the thesis defence, etc. For all others (which is
likely to be most of those on this mailing list), the tuition fees are
12 500 Euros per year for two years!
Regards
Antony
