Your most frequently asked questions

All international students are encouraged to apply to the First admission round (deadline mid-January and mid-August) for the autumn and spring semesters. The first rounds:

occur many months before the start of a semester and give students the time they need to pay their tuition fees (if required), apply for and receive their residence permit (for non-EU/EEA students) and arrange for housing
contain the entire catalogue of courses and programmes offered in English.

The Second admission rounds (deadline mid-April and mid-October) occur just a few months before the start of the semester and are only recommended for students from EU/EEA countries who do not need a residence permit.

Non-EU/EEA students will most likely not have enough time to obtain their permit before the start of the semester.
Only a small part of the catalogue of courses and programmes offered in English is offered in the Second rounds.

In order to complete your admissions application, there are several things we need from you:

Documentation of your previous studies
Proof of English skills
Payment of the application fee (if required)
Documentation of your citizenship status in an EU/EEA country (if you're a citizen)

Most applicants who are not a citizen of an European Union (EU) or European Economic Area (EEA) country, or Switzerland, are required to pay application and tuition fees.

Formal exchange students and doctoral students are exempted from tuition fees, as well as the application fee. Students who are registered for a course or programme at a Swedish university at the time they submit their application are not required to pay an application fee.
