All international students are encouraged to apply to the First admission round (deadline mid-January and mid-August) for the autumn and spring semesters. The first rounds:
occur many months before the start of a semester and give students the time they need to pay their tuition fees (if required), apply for and receive their residence permit (for non-EU/EEA students) and arrange for housing
contain the entire catalogue of courses and programmes offered in English.
The Second admission rounds (deadline mid-April and mid-October) occur just a few months before the start of the semester and are only recommended for students from EU/EEA countries who do not need a residence permit.
Non-EU/EEA students will most likely not have enough time to obtain their permit before the start of the semester.
Only a small part of the catalogue of courses and programmes offered in English is offered in the Second rounds.
Yes, you can. But be aware that University Admissions won't register your late documents until admissions results have been published. If you send in your documents before the results are published, they’ll be scanned and placed in a holding area. Please see Key dates for information on when results are published.
If your documentation was required to show you meet the entry requirements for the course, you'll see on your admissions notification that the course has been deleted because you weren’t qualified. If you are still interested in the course/programme you applied for and want your documents and status to be reviewed, follow these instructions:
First, you must check to see that the course is still open for application. Go to the start page and search for the course. If there’s a ‘Select’ button, it’s still open for application.
After admission results have been published, submit an email or letter to University Admissions 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 your courses. Use the contact form to send an email, or upload your letter right here on this website.
You can submit your documents at any time.
Please note that universities review late applications at their discretion. There’s no guarantee that your documents and application will be reviewed, even if you're qualified.
University Admissions receives a large amount of documentation and it can take some time to scan and enter documents into our admissions system. It can take up to 2–3 weeks after sending your documents for them to be registered.
You'll see when they've been registered in the 'Documents' section of your account under 'Documents received by regular post'.
Officially issued means that your documents have been issued by a representative of the Academic Registrar's Office, the Examinations Office, or the equivalent office that issues official documentation of records at your university.
You can't certify your own document copies. Self-certified transcripts, including printouts or screenshots from student self-service websites, are not accepted.
You can find out how to submit officially issued documents here at Universityadmissions.se.
University Admissions receives a large amount of documentation and it can take some time to scan and enter documents into our admissions system. It can take up to 2–3 weeks after your university has sent your documents for them to be registered. This applies to both documents that have been sent by regular mail as well as digitally.

All applicants are welcome to apply to the Second round if there are courses or programmes that interest them.
However, please note that the Second admission round process takes place just a few months before the start of the semester and is only recommended for students from EU/EEA countries who do not need a residence permit. Non-EU/EEA students will most likely not have enough time to obtain their permit before the start of the semester.
It's difficult to say if and when an applicant on reserve (waiting list) or with a late application will find out if they've been offered a place:
universities offer places to people on reserve as they become available. It's impossible to say if places will open in a course or programme as an accepted applicant needs to decline their place for it to be made available.
late applicants may be considered if there are still places available after all reserves have been contacted.
After selection, if the university decides to offer you admission, you'll receive an email along with a new Notification of Selection Results. In most cases, the university will be in touch with you directly.
In some cases, you won't hear from the university until after the semester starts.
If you do not wish to keep your place, you should decline your offer. This will remove you from the university's class and contact list for the course and make the space available to other interested applicants.
If you wish to keep your place, you do not need to reply to your offer. All contact from this point on should be directly between you and your university.
The application status ‘Unqualified’ means that you don’t fulfil the general entry requirements. You haven’t submitted complete documentation by the supporting documentation deadline.
The status is not a final admissions result.
If you believe you meet the general entry requirements, you can submit further documentation as proof. Any documents you submit at this stage won’t be assessed until after the admission results have been published.
