Sweden, bachelor's admission
Find out what previous studies meet the general entry requirements and what you can do at this website and at Antagning.se.
Meeting the general entry requirements
You can meet the general entry requirements with the following Swedish upper secondary examen:
- an examen from a "högskoleförberedande" programme, or
- an yrkesexamen with a passing grade (at least E) in Engelska 6 or Engelska nivå 2 and a passing grade (at least E) in Svenska/Svenska som andraspråk 2 and 3, or Svenska/Svenska som andraspråk nivå 3.
If you haven’t successfully completed the required level of English and/or Swedish, you can take the courses at a later date at komvux or a folkhögskola.
Why is Swedish required if I’m applying for courses with English as the teaching language?
Generally, all applicants with a Swedish upper secondary qualification must have studied up to a certain required level of Swedish in order to meet the general entry requirements for higher education studies in Sweden. In most cases, however, the Swedish requirement is waived for applicants who apply for courses taught in English.
Please note that if you apply for admission to courses and programmes taught in Swedish – you can do this at Antagning.se – you’ll need the appropriate Swedish studies to meet the general entry requirements.
