Bachelor's level studies:

To meet the general entry requirements for Bachelor’s level studies all students must:

• have successfully completed their upper secondary education (post-16) that gives access to universities in the student’s home country. Note that for students who received their final school grades after 31 December 2009, there is an additional entry requirement for mathematics*
• be able to demonstrate proficiency in English by means of an internationally recognised test, e.g. TOEFL, IELTS or the equivalent
• there may be some other country specific requirements

Master's level studies:

To meet the entry requirements for Master's level studies, you must:

• have been awarded a Bachelor's degree from an internationally recognised university
• be able to demonstrate proficiency in English by means of an internationally recognised test, e.g. TOEFL, IELTS or the equivalent.
• there may be some other country specific requirements

Programme-specific entry requirements

In addition to the general entry requirements, you must meet the specific entry requirements as detailed by each programme. For example, many Master’s degree programmes require that your Bachelor’s degree has a particular major, or you may need to have completed certain subject credits within your Bachelor’s degree. The specific entry requirements for the programmes can be found under the programme webpages. Note that you may need to send additional documents with your application to show that you meet these specific requirements.

English language proficiency

Most Lund University programmes and courses require English 6 (advanced level) language proficiency which is the equivalent of IELTS 6.5 (no section less than 5.5) or TOEFL 90. It is important that you check the programme or course as some programmes have a higher requirement for admission. If English is not your mother tongue, you will need to demonstrate language proficiency through an internationally recognised test.

Previous studies that meet the general entry requirements and any special documentation instructions

For bachelor's level studies:

High School/Secondary Student’s Record (Form 137-A) + Associate degree/ Bachelor’s degree (Official Transcript of Records)
For master's level studies:
For entry to a Master's programme, the minimum requirement is normally a 4-year Bachelor's degree and a 2-year Master's degree. A Bachelor's degree (4 years) followed by a Bachelor of Law (4 years) or a Doctor of Medicine (4 years) is considered to fulfill the requirements.

Translation requirements

Transcripts and diploma issued in English by the university are accepted; in this case, transcripts in the original language are not required.

• If your transcripts and diploma are issued in other languages (i.e. Filipino or latin), you also need to submit an official certified translation to Swedish, English, French or German.
