Higher academic credits
For credits to count they need to be completed no later than the last day of application.
Different education systems around the world count credits differently. As a basis, foreign degrees count as 180 credits (i.e. the normal length of a Swedish Bachelor’s degree). If a degree has taken more than three years to complete it will only count as more than 180 credits, if it meets one of the following requirements:
- Swedish credits shown on universityadmissions.se
- ECTS credits is shown on transcript
- Transferred credits visible at universityadmissions.se
Students in their last year of study will be given 150 as the merit value.
