Do you meet the diploma requirements? List of countries/diplomas
To find out if you meet the diploma requirements for our Bachelor programs (total GPA, English, and Mathematics), see the list of countries/diplomas below. Please note that these are preliminary conversions and that your grades will be properly converted by UniversityAdmissions.se after your application to them is submitted. Please also note that admission is highly competitive and normally requires higher grades than the minimum requirement. We remind you that you may generally apply with predicted grades to Stockholm School of Economics in your last year of high school/IB studies, with some excepted countries/diplomas listed below.
Countries/diplomas from which predicted grades are not accepted
From most countries and education systems, you can apply with predicted grades in your last year of studies. However, there are some exceptions. Students in the final year of upper secondary school in the national education systems of the countries listed below cannot apply before they have graduated (because assessment cannot be made until final grades have been issued). You must instead take a gap year before you apply (and then look at this page).

Didn't find your country?
For the minimum GPA requirement Please go to this page (in Swedish, but we will walk you through it). In the section “1. Räkna ut ditt preliminära meritvärde” there is a dropdown menu called “Omräkningstabeller för vissa länder”. If your country is in that list, click on your country and you will see a complete table of how your grades are converted into Swedish grades.
If your country/diploma is not in that dropdown menu, you can use the tool just below on the same page, “Räknehjälpen”, to convert your grades. It's in Swedish only but is easy to use. You simply fill in the minimum and maximum “värde” (value/score) that can be given in your diploma as well as your specific score. Then simply click “Räkna ut” (calculate).
For English and Mathematics requirements UHR offers an assessment manual (although in Swedish) for different countries. Just choose your country from the list and find English 6 (English requirement) and Matematik 3B or Matematik 3C (Mathematics requirement) in the tables.
