Admission and registration

Information for accepted and waitlisted students

Accepted students

All our students must register for their courses in Ladok. The registration period opens on December 21. For the spring semester of 2025 we have two advanced-level courses with different registration deadlines:

Children's food and eating: Biological and social perspectives. Please register by January 9 at the latest.
Evidence-based nutrition: how to review, evaluate and apply results from nutrition studies. Please register by March 16 at the latest.

Waitlisted students

The department will contact waitlisted students via email. Admissions from the waiting list begin at the earliest two weeks before the course starts. You do not need to contact the department; you will be notified if a place becomes available. Notifications are sent via email (response time is about two days). Therefore, please check your email daily when the waiting list admission period begins. Also, check your spam folder as emails from Uppsala University may end up there.

Conditionally Accepted Students

If you have been conditionally accepted, it means you have not yet met the course's eligibility requirements. Please contact the course administrator of the department.

Important!

If you change your mind or are unable to attend, please cancel your registration so that the place can be offered to someone on the waiting list.

Contact Information

If you have questions, you can email ikv@ikv.uu.se or call 018-471 23 23.

Remember: Before each course starts, you must register as a student for the course you intend to participate in and, if necessary, prove your eligibility.

Information about the course and schedule can be found in Studium.

Apply for a course - program student

Program students who study their first semester (Food Studies, Nutrition and Dietetics A: Nutrition) do not need to apply for the second semester course (Food Studies, Nutrition and Dietetics B: Food Science). The department's course administrator moves all program students up to the B-course provided they are eligible. However, you need to register for the course no later than the day before the course starts, which is done via Ladok.

Before semester three, you as a program student must also apply for the program's courses. You do this via www.antagning.se. It is important that you log in as a program student when you apply for courses within the program, otherwise you may lose your place guarantee. If you intend to take courses that are not part of the program, you should apply for these as independent and not as a program student.

You must also remember to accept the course in question according to the instructions in the admission notice. Registration via www.antagning.se is usually open during the period March 15 - April 15 for applications to fall courses and September 15 - October 15 for applications to spring courses. The admissions unit, director of studies and study counselors can provide information on how to apply and remind you when it is time to apply.

Eligibility and if admitted with conditions - in case of non-completed modules

The order and content of the courses are based on a progression of knowledge and skills. Each syllabus contains information on the eligibility requirements for each course. If you as a program student have remaining credits and do not meet the eligibility requirements, you will be admitted with conditions. This means that the institution has the full right to refuse registration if the eligibility is not achieved before the start of the course. How extensive and which elements are missing for fulfillment of eligibility determines whether further studies are possible or not. Contact administrator Karin Hellstadius for questions regarding registration for conditional admission
