If you have citizenship from a country that is not an EU/EEA country (or Switzerland), an application fee is required for your admissions application to be processed.
Strong English language communication skills are crucial to gain the full benefit of the programmes we offer. However, meeting the minimum English language test requirements does not guarantee admission. A majority of students accepted to this programme submit test scores corresponding to IELTS band 7.0.
What are our minimum requirements?
We require a good command of the English language, both spoken and written. The English language entry requirement is the equivalent of English studies at upper secondary level in Sweden (gymnasium), called English 6/English Course B.
For international students, this can be demonstrated in various ways. You can demonstrate that you meet the English language requirement through certain upper secondary (high school) studies, certain university studies, or an internationally approved English test.
We prefer candidates to take the IELTS test where possible. We accept the following tests and minimum scores:
We do not require aptitude tests such as GMAT or GRE, but a well-balanced GMAT or GRE score may strengthen your application to some of our programmes.
Even if you do not yet have your Bachelor's degree certificate, you are still able to apply.
To be able to participate in teaching and assessment you need to be registered for a course. Registration is also a condition to receive student finance from the Swedish Board of Student Finance (CSN).
Only those students who are admitted to a course can be registered. The department carries out the registration in connection with the start of semester. Remember that, in some cases, you must accept your place on the course one more time, either in person or electronically.
In the event of problems with your registration, please contact the programme administrator at the department to which your programme belongs.
In connection with the start of the course, you will receive information from your department about how to register.
