Study in Gothenburg, Sweden

Welcome to the University of Gothenburg, one of Sweden’s top ranked universities. We are the right study destination for academic freethinkers and changemakers.

Our course offerings

We offer around 80 international master’s programs and 10 bachelor’s programs, all taught in English. Most of the master's programs are two-year programs, taught on campus. The bachelor's programs are three-year programs. 

How to apply

All universities in Sweden use the same admissions portal, which means that you can apply to several universities at the same time.

The international admissions round opens on 16 October 2026 and closes on 15 January 2027. Admission for our progams at the Academy Music and Drama opens on 1 December 2026.
