“Qualified” means that you meet the entry requirements for the programme. However, it does not mean that you have been offered a place. This will be determined during the selection round. After the selection, the admissions results will be published at universityadmissions.se. The official final selection result is published on 26 March 2026.

PG (No selection (PGIU)) means “place guarantee” for applicants who fulfil the requirements. At this stage of the process, PG unfortunately does not mean that you have already been accepted to the programme. The admission process is still ongoing.
