General entry requirements
General entry requirements must be met for all higher education. There are general entry requirements for courses and programmes at both Bachelor's level and Master's level. Find out more about general entry requirements at www.universityadmissions.se.
Specific entry requirements
There are often specific entry requirements in addition to the general entry requirements. Specific entry requirements vary depending on the course or programme and consist of requirements for specific prior knowledge that is necessary for you to be able to follow a given course or programme. These entry requirements may include, for example, upper secondary school courses or academic courses. You can find out which ones are required in the relevant course syllabus.
Conditional entry requirements for a course
You can be admitted conditionally or placed on a waiting list conditionally to a course if you at the time of application do not fulfil the entry requirements, but will be in a position to fulfil the requirements by the time the course starts. If you are admitted conditionally or placed on a waiting list, the conditions must be fulfilled by the time the course starts for you to begin and be registered on the course. It is the department or equivalent who controls that you have fulfilled your condition.
Please note that the Admissions Office cannot subsequently remove a condition for a course. The decision on whether or not you fulfil the condition will be made by the relevant department.
You cannot be conditionally admitted on a course if you make a late application after the course has started, since the entry requirements must be fulfilled at the time the course starts.
Conditional entry requirements for programmes at Master's level
You can be admitted conditionally or placed on a waiting list conditionally to a programme if you at the time of application do not fulfil the entry requirements, but will be in a position to fulfil the requirements by the time the programme starts. The conditions must be fulfilled no later than two weeks after the programme starts and you must contact the Admissions Office at SLU yourself to demonstrate that you fulfil the conditions.
Language Requirements
The majority of the Master’s programmes at SLU are conducted in English. SLU also offers some Bachelor’s level courses in English. You can find out what the English language requirement is for the course or programme you are applying to by visiting the course description page at this web site.
You can demonstrate that you meet the English language requirement through certain upper secondary (high school) studies, certain university studies or an internationally approved English test.
