Deadline Approaching Fast

This week is the final week to apply to the program for those of you from outside of Sweden! Friday the 15th is the last day to apply and the last day to rank your courses if you want to study on the masters level in Sweden.

To apply to the program you need to meet these requirements

Academic requirements
A Bachelor’s degree, equivalent to a Swedish Kandidatexamen, from an internationally recognised university. The main field of study must be within the humanities or the social sciences.

Language requirements
All applicants need to verify English language proficiency that corresponds to English studies at upper secondary (high school) level in Sweden (“English 6”). This can be done in a number of ways, including through an internationally recognised test such as TOEFL or IELTS, or through previous upper secondary (high school) or university studies.


The minimum test scores are:

  • IELTS: an overall mark of 6.5 and no section below 5.5
  • TOEFL: Paper-based: Score of 4.5 (scale 1–6) in written test and a total score of 575. Internet-based: Score of 20 (scale 0–30) in written test and a total score of 90
  • Cambridge: CAE, CPE

Selection process:

Students are selected based on a statement of purpose and a summary of a previous thesis or other academic text. Please upload the statement of purpose and the summary in a single document (as your programme-specific document) together with your application to the programme. The text should not exceed 800 words.


Tuition fee-paying students and non-paying students are admitted on the same grounds but in different selection groups.
