A. Diploma completed in 2026 or before with a minimum GPA corresponding to at least 17.0 (out of 20) in the Swedish grading system.

Please note: admission is highly competitive and normally requires higher grades than the minimum requirement.

You may apply in your last year of studies if you include predicted grades with your application. If your school cannot give you predicted grades, you can instead apply with your previous high school grades including the fall semester grades from your last year.

Conditional admissions will be offered to students graduating after the application deadline. You must complete your application with final grades and documents no later than by the date of enrolment in August, 2025.

NB: Students in the final year of upper secondary school in the following countries cannot apply before they have graduated (because assessment cannot be made until final grades have been issued) and must instead take a gap year before applying (see this page):

• Cameroon GCE
• Cyprus (Apolytirion)
• France (French Baccalauréat):
  Please note: if your French school is able to give you predicted grades (relevé de notes) including predicted final GPA (Moyenne Finale), then you are able to apply with predicted grades when still in your final year.
