See all our freestanding courses at Uppsala University and use the search engine filters to find additional courses taught in English. However, it is important to note that apart from the courses listed above, students must apply to freestanding courses through the Swedish online application system antagning.se.
Late application
After the application deadlines the application to Uppsala University’s courses closes. If there are spaces left in the courses and programmes, they will open for late application on 13 July and 15 December respectively, after the first notification of admission. Late applications are handled in the order they are submitted, and as time permits.
Different Admission Rounds
The January/August admission round gives students the time they need to pay their tuition fees, apply for and be granted a Swedish residence permit (if required), find housing, etc. before commencing their studies at Uppsala University.
The April/October admission round gives students less time to organise their relocation to Sweden and is only recommended for students from EU/EEA countries as they are not required to obtain a Swedish residence permit. Non-EU/EEA students will most likely not have enough time to obtain their permit before the start of the semester.
Exchange studies
If you are an exchange student different application procedures apply. To find out about the courses offered for exchange students and how to apply, please view the information for exchange agreements.
