About the course

A three-year, English-taught mathematics degree covering analysis in one and several variables, algebra, linear algebra, probability and statistics, with later courses such as discrete mathematics, topology, complex analysis and differential geometry. Students can combine maths with subjects such as physics, computer science or economics, and finish with a degree project.

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: in the international round places are ranked on your final school grades.
  • Specific requirement: knowledge equivalent to the Swedish upper-secondary course Mathematics 4. University Admissions decides whether your Leaving Cert Maths level and grade meets this; Mathematics 4 is an advanced level, so Higher Level Maths is the safest route. Confirm with University Admissions before applying.
  • English: a Leaving Cert English result of Ordinary Level O6 (or D) or better meets the English requirement.

(Non-EU students pay SEK 555,000 for the full programme.) You need access to a computer, preferably a laptop, for course software such as Python and Matlab.
You need final Leaving Cert results to compete for a place, so applying in your Leaving Cert year for autumn 2027 is not realistic; most Irish students apply after their results.
