If you are unsure, you can also search for programmes based on your background or interests on our subjects page.

- Check the programme-specific requirements by selecting your Master’s programme. Go to the first section on the page called "Autumn 2026" and expand the information box.
- Start your application by creating an account on the UniversityAdmissions.se.

Step 3: Submit your documents

Need help? You are welcome to contact study@uu.se to check that your documents are correctly submitted before you send your application. Incorrect or missing documents may cause your application to be considered late, and the Swedish Council for Higher Education (UHR) may not always contact you in time if something is missing.
Step 4: Pay the application fee
If your programme requires tuition fees, you must pay the application fee of SEK 900 to University Admissions before 2 February. Make sure to allow enough time for international payment processing. Late payments will make your application late and ineligible for scholarships.
