Apply for Bachelor's programme
Here is a step-by-step guide on how to apply for a Bachelor's programme at the University of Gothenburg. There are a lot of important steps on the list so read the information carefully. All applications to the University of Gothenburg go through the Swedish National Admissions Portal, universityadmissions.se.
1. Find your programme
The first step is finding the right programme for you. Do proper research before, by reading all available information about the programme. It is important that you find a programme that matches your interest and what you want to do after your studies. You can apply to up to four programmes in the first admissions round and up to twelve programmes/courses in the second admissions round. The University of Gothenburg only offers four Bachelor's programmes taught in English.
2. Check the entry requirements
Each one of our programmes has general and programme-specific entry requirements. Make sure that you fulfil all entry requirements in order to be eligible for admission.
Please note! The Admissions Office does not make assessments beforehand of your academic merits. Your merits will be assessed when you have made an application. If you have questions regarding the programme-specific requirements, please contact a study counsellor. The study counsellor is presented on the programme page.
3. Submit an application
You apply through universityadmissions.se, the Swedish National Admissions Portal.
