First round of admissions for autumn semester now complete
The total number of admissions to Uppsala University amounted to 62,068. Of those, 6,657 were for courses on Campus Gotland. Such were the results of the first round of admissions for the autumn semester.
The total number of admissions to Uppsala University increased by 0.6 percent compared with the autumn semester 2022, when 61,708 were admitted. In terms of Campus Gotland, however, there was a fall of 4 percent compared with last spring, when 6,937 students were admitted during the first selection round.
The number of admissions is not the same as the number of students, as individuals may have been admitted to multiple courses/programmes.
