In Swedish
Admission
Admission to postgraduate studies (the third level) is limited. Only those applicants thought capable of coping with the tough competition are admitted.
Eligibility
Basic eligibility: A person has basic eligibility for third level education if he or she 1. has taken a second level qualification, 2. has completed course requirements of at least 240 higher education credits, including at least 60 higher education credits at second level, or 3. has acquired essentially corresponding knowledge in some other way in Sweden or abroad. The faculty board may permit an exemption from the requirement of basic eligibility in the case of an individual applicant, if there are special grounds.
Special eligibility: The special eligibility requirements made must be completely essential for the student to be able to benefit from the education. The requirements may concern 1. knowledge from higher education or corresponding education, 2. special professional experience, and 3. necessary language skills or other conditions depending on the education. Additional requirements are specified in the postgraduate studies curriculum for each discipline.
Selection: Selection from among applicants meeting the requirements is to be made with reference to their ability to benefit from the education.
To be accepted you must have a good command of English, however, there are no formal requirements regarding Swedish language skills.
Financial requirements and acceptance
The university only admits to third level education applicants who are given appointments as research students or are awarded research student grants. Tese appointments are advertised on the Faculty of Science's home page - in connection with the advertisement, there is an application form.
The university may, however, admit applicants who have some other form of financing for their studies, if it judges that the financing can be secured for the whole of the educational programme and that the applicant will be able to devote a sufficient amount of his or her time to his or her studies to be able to complete the programme in four years in the case of a degree of Licentiate or eight years in the case of a degree of Doctor.
