Specialisations
Prerequisites
To be admitted to the programme, the student must have a first-cycle degree (Bachelor’s degree) or the equivalent, with 90 higher education credits in the chosen area of specialisation in the programme. Information about application and admission at lu.se (links below).
Admission every autumn term. Application deadline: 15 January.
As an international student, you are encouraged to apply in the January admission round. This gives you time to pay tuition fees, apply for residence permit, find housing, etc. The April admission round can be an alternative for students from EU/EEA countries as they do not need a residence permit. Apply for the programme in the April admission round between March 15 and April 15 at Antagning.se. But please note that these pages are in Swedish and that you need to seek information for international students on your own.
