Find out what you need to submit, what previous studies meet the general entry requirements, how to meet the English requirement and any special instructions for your country of study.
Meeting the general entry requirements
For entry to a master's study programme, the minimum requirement is a 4-year Bachelor's degree, or a Bachelor's degree followed by a Master's degree (total of 4 years of studies).
Consideration will also be given to applicants who have attained a 3-year Bachelor's degree with honours in certain social science or humanities majors.
Students holding a 3-year Bachelor's degree without honours will not satisfy the entry requirements for a Master's programme.
Please note that the following degrees do not satisfy the entry requirements for a master's programme:
A Bachelor of Ayurvedic Medicine and Surgery from India, Sri Lanka or Bangladesh
A Bachelor of Unani Medicine and Surgery from India, Sri Lanka or Bangladesh
A Bachelor of Siddha Medicine & Surgery from India, Sri Lanka or Bangladesh
Meeting the English requirement
Upper secondary studies completed in this country do not meet the English requirement for studies in Sweden. Even if you studied English at your upper secondary school, it is not enough to give you eligibility in regard to English.
You can demonstrate that you meet the English language requirement through certain university studies, or an internationally approved English test.
In order to complete your admissions application, you must provide the following documents so they arrive at University Admissions by the deadline.
Certificates and diplomas of your completed degree(s) from an internationally recognised higher education institution.
The certificate/diploma must be officially issued by a representative of the Academic Registrar's Office, the Examinations Office, or the equivalent office that issues official transcripts of records at your university.
Transcripts of completed courses and grades for each semester included in your degree. If you have had courses credited/transferred from previous studies, you must also submit official transcripts for those courses.
The documents must be officially issued by a representative of the Academic Registrar's Office, the Examinations Office, or the equivalent office that issues official transcripts of records at your university.
Make sure the transcripts are dated so we can clearly see when they were issued.
Proof of English language proficiency
Proof that you meet the specific entry requirements
It's important you check the university's website for information regarding the specific entry requirements for the course or programme you have applied to and any other documentation they may require, such as dissertations, essay summaries, letters of recommendation, or letters of intent. Please do not submit any additional documentation unless it is specifically requested by the university.
In order to speed up the processing of your application, we require a copy of the page in your passport with your personal data and photograph, or some other identification document.
Translation of documents not required
As documents from this country are normally issued in English, you don't need to provide translations.
