About the course

A three-year, 180-credit full-time campus programme in Växjö, taught in English, combining core mathematics (calculus, linear algebra, differential equations, probability) with programming and applied topics such as numerical methods, optimisation and statistics. The final year includes a degree project and electives, and the programme prepares for master’s study in mathematics and related fields.

Entry requirements for Irish students

  • University Admissions in Sweden accepts the Leaving Certificate for general entry if you took at least six subjects, with at least two at Higher Level. Only final results count, and predicted grades are not accepted, so Leaving Cert students normally apply in the year after their exams.
  • Specific requirement: Swedish Mathematics 4 (or Mathematics D, or Mathematics further level 2). This is an advanced maths level, and University Admissions decides whether your Leaving Cert maths result and level match it. Confirm with University Admissions before applying.
  • English: a Leaving Cert English result of Ordinary Level grade O6 (or D) or better meets the English requirement.

How to apply

Costs

  • No tuition fees and no application fee for EU/EEA citizens, including Irish citizens. The fees shown on the programme page (first instalment 87,500 SEK, 525,000 SEK for the whole programme) apply only to non-EU/EEA students. You must upload a copy of your passport or ID card to prove EU citizenship by the document deadline.
The programme needs Swedish Mathematics 4, which is a high maths level, so confirm with University Admissions that your Leaving Cert maths qualifies. Because only final results are accepted and the deadline is 15 January, most Irish students apply the year after sitting the Leaving Cert.
