No, and they clearly state that in many different places. The cost of living in Scandinavia is absolutely unbelievable, compared to what we pay in America. And depending on your VISA you will only be able to work 20 hours a week. But, unless you are fluent in Swedish, there is a very slim chance that you will be able to find a job, even in fast food. Also, if you are going for graduate studies the immigration office may not let you work at all.

No, it is not possible to work to cover living expenses. As a University student, you will need SEK 7,300,- /month guaranteed funding in order to get a residence permit in the first place, according to the Swedish Migration Board. You will be allowed to work, but if you fail to get all your credits for the term, your residence permit may be revoked. Check the Swedish Migration Board site, link below, for further info. Make sure you have all the necessary permits in order before travelling to Sweden. Universities always recommend that you don't work at all, you will have a hard enough time keeping up with your studies. You will be expected to dedicate a minimum of 40 hours/week on your studies in order to succeed and get your required credits. Check with your Programme co-ordinator or similar, but I'm sure they'll convey the same message. Eventually, you may be able to get part time work on weekends and earn some extra pocket money, but jobs available for non-Swedish speakers are few and far between. Cleaning offices, washing dishes in restaurants or delivering newspapers are jobs that only require a rudimentary knowledge in Swedish, but they don't pay more than SEK 100-130/hour gross. 30% income tax is deducted automatically by your employer unless you have been granted a tax rebate.
