Undergraduate studies
Most undergraduate students come to Sweden as exchange students; their home university has an exchange agreement with a Swedish institution – either as part of an EU exchange program or through a bilateral scheme.
Opportunities for students to come to Sweden to study at an undergraduate level as free movers – students who apply on an individual basis – are limited. Careful planning, good academic credentials, personal funds and strong motivation are needed. If you are a free mover, make sure to plan ahead and set aside plenty of time to make all the necessary arrangements.
Although a growing number of undergraduate courses have been made available in English in order to make them more accessible, embarking on a full undergraduate program is not an option for most foreign students. This is because for the most part these programs require a very good command of written and spoken Swedish.
There are exceptions, however: Blekinge Institute of Technology, Dalarna University, IT University of Göteborg, Jönköping International Business School, Luleå University of Technology, Malmö University College, Mälardalen University College, Stockholm School of Economics, Umeå University, University of Borås and Växjö University offer undergraduate programs taught in English.
Most other courses at the undergraduate level offered in English are intended for exchange students. If free movers are admitted, they must meet all the normal requirements with regard to previous university studies and knowledge of English. Universities and university colleges will normally require verification in the form of an international proficiency test certificate.
