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. Predicted grades are not accepted, so you need your final results when you apply. Confirm your individual assessment with University Admissions.
  • Specific requirement: Mathematics 3c (or Mathematics further level 1c), a Swedish upper-secondary maths level. University Admissions decides whether your Leaving Cert Maths level and grade meet it. The Ireland country instructions do not state an equivalent, so confirm with them before applying.
  • English: a Leaving Cert English result of Ordinary Level grade 6 (O6, or D on the old scale) or better meets the English requirement that is part of general entry.

How to apply

  1. Check the maths requirementConfirm with University Admissions whether your Leaving Cert Maths level and grade meet Mathematics 3c, and check that you have six subjects with two at Higher Level.
  2. Apply at universityadmissions.seApply between 16 October 2026 and 15 January 2027 for the autumn 2027 intake (code LNU-F3538).
  3. Upload documents by 1 February 2027Upload your final Leaving Cert results and a copy of your passport or ID card. If proof of citizenship is missing, your application is treated as late.
  4. Receive results and acceptAdmission results are published on 8 April 2027. Accept your place and plan to start on 30 August 2027.
Deadline for Irish/EU applicants: Autumn 2027 intake (30 Aug 2027 to 9 Jun 2030), application code LNU-F3538. The international admission round at universityadmissions.se opens on 16 October 2026 and closes on 15 January 2027. Supporting documents (final Leaving Cert results and proof of citizenship) are due by 1 February 2027, and results are published on 8 April 2027..

Costs

  • No tuition fees and no application fee for EU/EEA citizens, including Irish citizens. The 87,500 SEK a year (525,000 SEK in total) shown on the programme page applies to non-EU/EEA students only. You must upload a copy of your passport or national ID card by the document deadline to prove EU citizenship.
The key hurdle is the Mathematics 3c requirement, and University Admissions decides whether your Leaving Cert Maths meets it. Because grades must be final, most Irish students apply in the January after their Leaving Cert.
