Entry requirements
Before you can be admitted to university studies, you must fulfil certain entry requirements. If there are more applicants who fulfil the entry requirements than there are places, a selection is made. These are the rules that apply at SLU.
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.
Specific entry requirements
In addition to the general entry requirements, there are often specific entry requirements. Specific entry requirements vary depending on the course or programme and are 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.
Find out more about general and specific entry requirements on universityadmissions.se.
Conditional entry requirements for a course
You can be admitted conditionally to a course, or placed on a waiting list conditionally, if, at the time of application, you do not fulfil the entry requirements but will do so by the time the course starts.
If you are admitted conditionally or placed on a waiting list, you must fulfil the requirements by the time the course starts for you to be registered on the course. You need to provide proof that you fulfil the requirements and show this to the department or equivalent.
Please note that the SLU Admissions Office cannot remove a requirement for a course. The decision on whether you fulfil the condition will be made by the relevant department.
You cannot be conditionally admitted to 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 to a programme, or placed on a waiting list conditionally, if, at the time of application, you do not fulfil the entry requirements but will do so by the time the programme starts. You must contact the Admissions Office at SLU yourself to demonstrate that you fulfil the conditions, and you must do this no later than two weeks after the programme starts.
Furthermore, you must show that you meet the English requirements for the course or programme before the deadline for submitting supporting documents. You cannot be conditionally admitted if you are missing the English requirements.
Language requirements
Most Master’s programmes at SLU are taught in English. SLU also offers some Bachelor’s level courses, and one Bachelor's programme, in English.
You can find out the English language requirement for the course or programme you are applying on the course description page/länk.
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. For more information, please visit universityadmissions.se.
Prior learning
Applying for prior learning assessment is a way to be eligible to study at SLU even if you do not have the formal qualifications. Your knowledge and experience are assessed to determine whether you will be able to follow the course or programme you wish to apply to. Read more about prior learning.
