Application 

When should you apply?

All international students are encouraged to apply in the first admission round. This round takes place many months before the start of the semester and gives students the time they need to pay their tuition fees, apply for and receive a residence permit (if required), find housing, etc.

  • Application period: October – January
  • The deadline for submitting all documentation is in February

The admissions results for the second admissions round are published in July, which means that students who require a residence permit for studies in Sweden (non-EU/EEA citizens) will not have enough time to have their residence permit application processed and approved, before the start of the semester. We do not recommend that you apply in the second round unless you are a citizen of an EU/EEA country or Switzerland.

  • A complete CV form (only use our CV form)
