FAQ

I do not meet the entry requirements of academic credits, but I have other experiences that correspond to the requirements. Am I eligible?

The entry requirements must be fulfilled and cannot be replaced by, for example, working experience. No exemptions will be made.

Do I need to fulfil the entry requirements when applying?

No, you can apply without fulfilling the entry requirements. If admitted, you will be admitted with conditions. In that case, you must show that you fulfil all the entry requirements no later than 08.00 CET on the first day of the semester.

What information must be on my transcript?

The transcript must be official, and state what the passing requirements is. In order for us to be able to do the best assessment of your previous studies, the transcript needs to show credits for each course. If it does not show credit, we have to estimate how much of your studies that is within business.

I want to submit more information to show that I fulfil the entry requirements - where can I send them?

The last day to submit supporting documents can be found on www.universityadmission.se. No documents received after this will be taken into consideration for the application.

I have studied my Bachelor at Uppsala University – am I given priority?

No, we do not base selection on where you have studied previously.

My application was assessed as unqualified, but I think that I meet the requirements. Who do I contact?

You contact those who did the assessment. The general entry requirements are assessed by the Admissions Office at Uppsala University. The specific entry requirements are assessed the Student Counsellor at the Department of Business Studies.

I want to appeal the decision - how can I do that?

Please find information on the University Admissions web page.

I am on the waiting list, will I receive a spot on the Programme if someone declines their spot?

It is highly unlikely that we will call any reserves, since our programmes are very popular and most students choose to register. We will know the week before the semester starts, usually in late August, whether or not we will call any reserves. If we do, we will inform you via e-mail and you have to respond at a certain date. Information will be published on our Student site when we know if reserves will be called or not.

I want to change the specialisation of my programme. How do I do that?

It is not possible to change the specialisation once on the programme. If you want to study on another specialisation, you have to apply to the programme again and chose that specialisation.

I want to change the order of the programme – can I do that?

The programme follows a fixed study route and all courses are given in the pre-described order.

I have the credits and courses that correspond to a Bachelor’s degree, but I do not have the official diploma. Can I still be registered?

You need to upload a copy of the official diploma on universityadmissions.se, or send us an official transcript from a degree office that state that you fulfil the requirements for the degree you have applied for, that you fulfil the requirements for it and will be awarded the degree.
