One portal, one application fee, four programme choices — the most streamlined application system in Europe.
One national application portal, 900+ English Master's, and generous scholarships at world-ranked universities.
The stages in the order they actually happen — and where we step in on each one.
Sweden lets you rank up to 4 programmes in one application — choosing that ranking well is half the game. We match your profile to programmes where you're competitive.
Most English Master's ask IELTS 6.5 (some 7.0). Swedish is not required for admission or daily life in university cities.
Everything goes through universityadmissions.se: one account, one SEK 900 fee, scanned documents by the mid-January deadline for autumn. No per-university chaos.
The SI Scholarship for Global Professionals (full ride) and university scholarships (KTH, Lund, Chalmers, Uppsala — often 25–100% tuition) run on their own deadlines right after the application window.
Results arrive in late March/April. You accept, pay the first tuition instalment, and that payment unlocks your residence-permit application.
Apply online showing admission, paid first instalment, health insurance and SEK 10,656/month (2026 rate) for the permit period. Straightforward if the file is complete — delays come from gaps.
Get your residence card, join a student nation (Lund/Uppsala tradition), and note there is no formal cap on student work hours — studies permitting. Afterwards: a 12-month job-seek permit.

Europe's deadlines are staggered, so you can realistically apply across several countries in one cycle instead of betting everything on one. Here's every destination we cover.
