Admissions requirements

It is imperative to start the processes at least one year before departure, in fact the application deadline is December 1st.

Knowledge of the language
Minimum level of English: 500 to 550 of the TOEFL - TEST or equivalent (IELTS, MELAB, Cambridge First Certificate).
Non-Scandinavian students who want to take classes in Swedish must pass a Swedish language test:
Tisus (Test in Swedish for University Studies) or rikstestet.
