If you applied to the First round, you're not required to reply to your admissions offer here on Universityadmissions.se. However, please note that the university that you've been accepted to may require you to reply to them. Be sure to follow any instructions given to you by your university.
We hope that you'll choose to study in Sweden! However, if you decide not to accept the place you've been offered, please be sure to decline it here on Universityadmissions.se. In that way, you let the university know you won't be attending and free up the place for someone on the waiting list.
If you see the status ‘Reserve´ next to a course or programme, it means that you have been placed on a waiting list.
Next steps for First round applicants
If you've applied for the First round, you do not need to reply to your admissions notification. If you're offered a place in a course or programme from the waiting list, the university most likely will contact you directly. You'll also receive an email and new notification of selection results.
Next steps for Second round applicants
If you have applied for the Second round, you must reply to your admissions notification in order to keep your reserve place (as well as any admitted places). You will receive a second notification with the results of the second selection round. You'll find out then if you've been offered a place in the course/programme from the waiting list.
The university may offer you a place even later. If this happens, you will receive an email from University Admissions and a new Notification of Selection results. The university may even contact you directly about the place available.
What are my chances of being offered a place from the waiting list?
Unfortunately, we do not have any information regarding your chances of being offered a place and are unable to answer questions you may have.
If you've been conditionally placed on reserve (waiting list), this means that you're on the waiting list and that there is also something left for you to do with your application if you're eventually admitted. It could be one or both of the following:
If you're admitted, you'll be required to pay tuition fees. In this case, if you're eventually offered a place in the course/programme, you'll have to make the first instalment before you can be considered officially admitted. You must be officially admitted before your application for a residence permit can be approved by the Swedish Migration Agency. If you're offered a place, your university will contact you with information on how to pay the first instalment of your tuition fee.
If you're admitted, you need to submit requested documentation. In this case, your status as reserve (waiting list) is conditional because University Admissions or your university is waiting for you to submit some type of documentation. You should have received a message here on Universityadmissions.se, or been contacted by admissions personnel. You should submit this documentation as soon as possible so your application is complete. The university will notify you later if a place becomes available that they can offer you.
An explanation for why you've been conditionally placed on a waiting list (reserve) can be found in your account here - see your admissions results under 'Application'.
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.
Each individual university is responsible for the tuition fee process. You should consult their website for further information.
It is strongly recommended that you pay the first instalment of your tuition fee as soon as you have made your decision and received instructions from your university regarding payment. The residence permit application process will not begin at the Swedish Migration Agency until your first tuition instalment has been paid.
The Swedish Institute and Swedish universities offer scholarships to international students. There's a page here at Universityadmissions.se with information regarding scholarships and links to the Swedish Institute and universities. There is also information on the Study in Sweden website.
