## How to apply

Admission is based on your diploma and IELTS/TOEFL, through a centralized system.

Admission to Lund University takes six months or more; here are the key stages:

1. Choose a program (9–12 months ahead). Decide on the field — Law, economics, engineering and physics — and the level: bachelor’s or master’s. Programs differ in requirements, deadlines and fees.
2. Language certificate. Yes, Sweden offers a wide choice of English-taught programs, especially at the master's level.
3. Application. Applications are submitted online; once reviewed, the university sends an offer — with it you can plan finances and housing.
4. Student visa and relocation. After the offer, StudyU helps prepare visa or residence-permit documents for Sweden; the consular or migration authority makes the decision.

After 11 years of school. Yes, certificates are accepted directly. Apply via universityadmissions.se; the autumn-intake deadline is mid-January.

## Documents for admission

- IELTS/TOEFL certificate

Exact requirements depend on the program - we'll help you prepare.

Start with the slowest items — translations, apostille and the language exam: they take 1–2 months. We do the final package check for you.

## Tuition and living costs

For non-EU students tuition applies; scholarship options are reviewed before the application.

Country benchmark for Sweden. For non-EU students, yes, but scholarships are available. We'll point out suitable ones.

Scholarships and grants. Swedish Institute (SI) scholarships - tuition plus living - and universities' own programs.

Beyond tuition, budget for housing, insurance, visa fees and tickets must be planned separately. During the free initial consultation, we clarify your goal, profile, timing, and budget and identify the next realistic step. A personal strategy, requirement checks, selection of agreed options, document preparation, applications, and support are provided under an agreement with StudyU.

## Accommodation and student life

Lund is a classic student town; student residences and “nations” are available.

Once there, you will sort out registration, a bank account and a travel pass — we guide you through these steps after enrollment.

## Career after graduation

The strong fields of Lund University are Law, economics, engineering and physics. As at most universities in Sweden, students have access to a career centre, job fairs and internships — use them from the first semesters: hands-on experience is decisive for the first job.

Another path is a master’s degree: with a bachelor’s from Sweden you can apply to programs and scholarships worldwide.

## Student reviews

Admission went smoothly: StudyU helped me gather the documents and not miss the deadlines. I arrived at Lund University already knowing what to expect.

We applied to several universities at once - I got offers and calmly made my choice. Lund University has a strong program and a convenient campus.
