Application and Admission
On the following pages you will find more information on how to apply for courses and programmes. You can also read about eligibility, qualifications and other things that can help you in the application and admission process.
Apply via Universityadmission.se
You register for programmes via Universityadmissions.se, a joint website that the majority of Sweden's higher education institutions use to apply for their programmes. You apply for programmes and courses in a single application.
Apply after the deadline - Late Application
After the deadline, you have the opportunity to make a late application. 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.
What are the Entry Requirements?
To study at a higher education institution, you are required to have certain prior knowledge – you must be qualified. These prerequisites and qualifications form the basis for you to be able to complete your studies.
Selection and Merit Rating
Being eligible for a programme does not mean that you are automatically admitted to the programme you have applied for. When there are more eligible applicants than there are places on a programme, the places are allocated by selection. To be able to compete for places in a programme, you need a merit rating. This merit is based on the education and training required to qualify.
Credit Transfer and Prior Learning
Do you lack formal qualifications for higher education? By combining upper secondary school courses and work experience or by applying for an assessment of prior learning, there may be opportunities for you. This does not guarantee you a place, but it gives you the chance to participate in the selection process.
Transferring to a programme at the University of Gävle
Have you started your programme studies at another university in Sweden but want to change to the University of Gävle? It is possible to apply for a later part of the programme if you meet the entry requirements and places are available.
