3. Submit your supporting documents

Submit all supporting documents to University Admissions in Sweden so that they are received before the deadline. It is therefore recommended that you submit your documents as soon as possible during the application period. That way, you have the opportunity to receive any feedback and make corrections before the deadline.

Depending on the country your merits are from, you may be able to scan and upload your original documents to your account at universityadmissions.se, or you may be required to have them submitted in hardcopy (in some cases directly by the University). You must check the country-specific requirements and document rules for Master's studies and for Bachelor's studies before you submit the following documents, to ensure you follow the instructions correctly and that your documents can be accepted:

All official certificates, diplomas and transcripts that are required to prove you meet the admission requirements. If you upload your documents to your www.universityadmissions.se account, you must make sure you scan the original documents (not copies). If the country instructions require you to submit these documents in hardcopy yourself, then they need to be certified copies.For some countries, it is the university that needs to submit the official transcript directly to University Admissions in Sweden (not the student).
Proof of English language skills (e.g. TOEFL or IELTS test)
The page in your passport with your personal data and photograph (scan and upload from the original document)
Any additional documents required by the programme or course as part of their selection requirements (e.g. statement of purpose, CV, writing sample). Not relevant for Bachelor's studies.
Cover sheet (printed from your online application) – this only applies to students who are required to submit documents in hard copy themselves (but not in the case when documents must be sent directly by the university according to the country specific instructions– in this case do not give your university the cover sheet). The cover sheet is also needed by a few of our programmes that require you to have a reference letter submitted by the reference person directly to University Admissions in Sweden.

4. Pay the application fee

Pay the University Admissions in Sweden application fee before the deadline to ensure your application will be considered (for non-EU/EEA students). Please note:

Your application will not be processed until the fee has been paid. Therefore, we encourage you to pay as soon as possible.
It does not matter which order you submit some or all of your documents and pay the application fee. What matters is that everything is received by University Admissions in Sweden by the fee and document deadline at latest.

In general, we strongly recommend completing the steps as soon as possible during the application period. That way, you have the opportunity to receive any feedback and make corrections before the deadline. Please note that your application must be correct and complete by the deadline and that no extra time will be given for corrections after the deadline.
