How to log into Universityadmissions.se

If you don’t already have a profile at Universityadmissions.se, you need to create one to submit your application.

Before you can apply, you need a profile. You can search for courses and programmes and start the application process without logging in, but you have to create a profile in order to submit the application.

Here are the different methods you can choose from.

Email or Swedish personal identity number

International applicants use their email address as their username when creating their account.

If you live in Sweden and have a Swedish personal identity number, you can create your user account using this number as your username. However, you might find it more convenient to use some form of eID.

On the login page, click on the link ”Create account” next to ”Don’t have an account?”

To complete your account set-up, you'll be required to:

  • verify your email address with a code sent to that address
  • verify your mobile nummer with a code sent to your phone
  • verify your identity by entering the one-use code you receive shortly after creating your user account.

Now you’re almost ready to start the application process. In order to finish setting up your account, you must confirm your identity. To do this, we'll send a one-use code to the address in Sweden where you're officially registered. This address is called your "folkbokföringsadress".

As a verified user you can view your qualifications online once they've been registered. You'll need to go to Antagning.se to do this.

Find out more at the Swedish Tax Authority's website about population registration in Sweden.

Entering your one-use code

When you log in to Universityadmissions.se, you'll be presented with instructions on how to use your one-use code to complete the set-up of your account. Once you've completed this step, you'll have access to all services at Universityadmissions.se.

Do you have a personnummer and are living abroad?

Because your address isn't officially registered in Sweden, you can't activate your account with a one-use code.

The most convenient way for you to make an account is probably to use an eID. If that's not possible for you, send in an application and then contact us. We will see what we can do to help.

eIDAS

EIDAS is an EU regulation that ensures that people and businesses can use their own national electronic identification schemes (eIDs) to access public services available online in other EU countries.

Not all EU countries are connected to eIDAS, and those who are use different types of eID systems. You can read more about it here:

Embassy/consulate staff and family members in Sweden

If you have an immunity number (immunitetsnummer) issued by the Swedish Tax Agency (Skatteverket), you must create an account using an e-mail address as your username.

Do not use your immunity number, as these are not compatible with Universityadmissions.se. For the same reason, you should not log in with eID that is linked to your immunity number.

You can usually choose one of the following levels of protection.

Protected address

You can apply and follow your application using Universityadmissions.se if you only want to protect your address.

All other information will be released to anyone who requests it, in accordance with Sweden’s principle of public access to official documents. The name of the university at which you are admitted can reveal your location.

Apply with protected address

Full privacy protection

All of the information in your application is protected, but you cannot apply or follow your application using Universityadmissions.se. You apply in another way.

Apply with full privacy protection

You can change your level of protection at any time. Such a change will not affect your application for higher education studies.

New Swedish personal identity number

If you have received a new Swedish personal identity number from the Swedish Tax Authority (Skatteverket) and have been given a new identity without protected Population Register data or confidentiality marking, you can create an account and apply at Universityadmissions.se.

However, you must be able to show that any documents with your former personal identity number are yours. To find out how to do this please contact the Personal Data Protection Team at the Swedish Council for Higher Education (UHR).
