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
A Bachelor's degree/Licence (درجة البكالوريوس/اجازة) meets the general criteria.
To document your eligibility, please submit your diploma/certificate and transcript. If your qualifications are in French, submit your Diplôme et releve de notes (شهادة درجة البكالوريوس /اجازة وكشف علامات).
Meeting the English requirement
Lebanese upper secondary studies might meet the English requirement for studies in Sweden. You must show that English is the first foreign language studied during your upper secondary years. The baccalaureat document that is required does not generally state this. Because of this be sure to submit your diploma and transcripts from all years at secondary/high school.
If you’re documenting your English based on your upper secondary studies, you must provide documentation demonstrating you meet the requirement. Please submit your upper secondary documents as indicated for bachelor’s level studies.
You can demonstrate that you meet the English language requirement through certain university studies, or an internationally approved English test. Find out more at the following link:
In order to complete your admissions application, you must provide the following documents so they arrive at University Admissions by the deadline.

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 requirements
Academic documents issued in English by the university are accepted.
If your diploma is issued in French, it can be accepted without translation.
If you submit your transcript of completed courses and grades in French, you must also provide an official translation of your documents. Official means that your translation must be completed by a translation company or a person who works as a translator. Accepted languages for translations are Swedish or English.
If your documentation is issued in a language other than English or French, you need to submit documentation both in the original language and an official translation. Official means that your translation must be completed by a translation company or a person who works as a translator. Accepted translation languages are Swedish and English.
Special document instructions
If you upload your documents, you must scan your original documents; certified copies are not accepted.
If you send your documents via regular post, you must send officially certified copies i.e. copies certified by the issuing university or a notary public.
Both the front and back sides of documents must be scanned and submitted.
Your name and birthdate must match on all documents
For your documents to be accepted:
the name and birthdate provided must be the same on all your documents (ID, transcripts, degree certificate, etc.)
the name on your documents must match the name you reported in your account at Universityadmissions.se
If the names are different, you must provide us with documentation (for example, a marriage certificate if you've been married) as to why they don't match.
If the birthdate on any of your documents is different from your passport, the difference must be explained with official documentation.
This documentation must be either issued in English or Swedish or, if issued in another language, officially translated to Swedish or English.

Submission of false documents is a violation of Swedish law and is considered grounds for legal action.
