University admission details

Admission included in application?

Apply to one of the three programmes on universityadmissions.se by 15 January 2027. If you are from outside the EU, pay the application fee and upload your documents by 1 February 2027. The scholarship application period runs from 16 October to 28 February. The scholarship pages do not name the year. The 16 October opening matches the 2027 programme round, and the February date most likely means February 2027. Winners are selected in parallel with admission, and only applicants who meet the entry requirements are considered. Offers come in April, and you must confirm by the deadline in the notification or the offer is withdrawn. The scholarship is awarded one semester at a time and needs 7.5 credits before semester 2, 37.5 before semester 3 and 67.5 before semester 4. Deferring your studies cancels it, and so does a refused residence permit. You can submit the application only once, and any change needs a new application that cancels the earlier one.
