Please note the deadline for accepting your offer!

Changed Your Mind or Unable to Attend?

If you have registered (see step 3 above), we expect you to begin your studies.
If you change your mind or are unable to attend, it is very important that you notify the course administrator, Angela Abbas, as soon as possible. This allows us to offer your place to someone on the waiting list.

Please note: If you are registered but do not attend, you will not be able to apply for the course again in the future.

Thank you for your understanding!

Waitlisted students

The department contacts waitlisted students via email. Any admission from the waiting list will begin no earlier than two weeks before the course starts.
You do not need to contact the department yourself – if a place becomes available, you will be contacted in order of your position on the list. Notifications are sent by email, and you are expected to respond within approximately two days.
It is therefore important that you check your email daily once the waiting list process has started. Don’t forget to also check your spam folder to avoid missing an offer.

Conditionally Admitted

If you have been conditionally admitted, it means you have not yet met the eligibility requirements for the course. Please contact the course administrator for further guidance.

Important!

If you are no longer planning to attend, it is important that you decline your place so that it can be offered to someone on the waiting list and not go unused.

Contact Information

If you have any questions, please contact course administrator Angela Abbas at angela.abbas@ikv.uu.se or call +46 (0)18 471 23 23.

Apply for a course - program student

If you are a programme student in your first semester (Food Studies A: Nutrition), you do not need to apply for the second semester course (Food Studies B: Food Science). The course administrator will automatically transfer all eligible programme students to the B course.
However, you must register for the course in Ladok no later than the day before the course starts.

For the third semester, even programme students must apply for the programme’s courses via www.antagning.se. It is important that you log in as a programme student using your student account when applying, otherwise you may lose your guaranteed place.
If you plan to take courses outside the programme, you must apply for them as independent courses, not as a programme student.

You must also remember to accept your place according to the instructions in your admission notification.
Applications via www.antagning.se are usually open from 15 March to 15 April for autumn courses, and from 15 September to 15 October for spring courses. The Admissions Office, Director of Studies, and Study Counsellor can provide guidance and reminders when it’s time to apply.

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

The structure and content of the courses are based on a progression of knowledge and skills. Each course syllabus specifies the eligibility requirements.
If you are a programme student with incomplete coursework and do not meet the eligibility criteria, you will be conditionally admitted. This means the department has the right to deny your registration if the requirements are not met before the course starts.

The extent and nature of the missing components will determine whether continued studies are possible.
Please contact course administrator Angela Abbas if you have questions regarding registration under conditional admission.
