Don't miss any important autumn semester dates and deadlines. Find out when your application and documents are due and, best of all, when you'll get your admissions decision. All deadlines are midnight CET (Central European Time) at the end of the day on the date indicated. All dates are in 2024, unless otherwise noted.

While we are processing late applications and reserve admissions, we cannot answer questions about the number of available program spots or your chances of being admitted.

If you have been offered a place, you must respond to your Admission Decision by accepting it. If you do not do so in time, you will lose your place to another applicant. The exact date is indicated in your Admission Decision, which you can find on My Pages on Universityadmissions.se

In the second selection, you may have been deleted if you have forgotten to accept your Admission Decision after the first selection. You may also have been deleted because you have been admitted to a higher priority option. In that case you can reapply via universityadmissons.se. The requirement is that you have been admitted in the First selection round and the course/programme is still open för late application. Your reapplication will be treated as a late application.

How to reapply at Universityadmissions.se External link.

Late applications are placed in the queue according to those who applied on time and according to the date the application was received. Therefore, please submit your application as soon as possible. You will be notified via Universityadmission.se when we have processed your Late Application. In some cases, you may be notified after the course has already started.

Waiting list and late applications at Universityadmissions.se External link.

University Admissions won't process documents received after the deadline until after the admissions results are published. They will first review the on-time applications. Once the results are out, if a course was removed from your application because you didn't meet the entry requirements, but you believe you do meet them based on the late documents, you need to reapply for the course. To reapply, follow these steps:

• send an email to University Admissions after admissions results are published, explaining that you’d like to reapply.
• in the letter, include the application code(s) for the courses you wish to reapply for and indicate in what order you wish to rank them.
• you can submit your documents at any time.

To be conditionally admitted means that you are accepted and can start the course, provided that you can prove that you meet the specified course entry requirements at the latest at the roll-call. The most common reason for a conditional admittance is that there is not yet a final grade set on a qualifying course.

To be registered, you must be able to show that you fulfil all entry requirements by the start of the course. If you are admitted with conditions, you cannot register on your own via Ladok. You therefore need to send your name, Swedish personal ID and the name of the course to the Studentsupport so we can check your eligibility.

On Universityadmission.se you can see courses and programmes that still are open for late registration after the deadline for registration has passed. The courses that are still open for applicants have a clickable "Select" button rightmost of the application option at universityadmissons.se. But note that even if the programme is possible to choose, it does not always mean that there are vacancies. We can unfortunately not answer questions about how many vacant programme places are left or what the chances are of being admitted.

If a course does not have a select button, it is closed for late enrollment and there are no available places left. A late enrollment can only be made on courses that are still open for late enrollment and thus have a select button.

There is a lot to think about as a new student. For you, it might mean a whole new life in a whole new country. An important issue for most people is housing and you need to apply for accommodation yourself. It is a good idea to start looking for accommodation as early as possible, and it is a good idea to join a housing queue.

Only those who are admitted may attend the programme introduction. If you are a reserve, you should instead be available by e-mail and telephone in connection with the start of the programme and course.
