STEP 2 Check Eligibility

  • Check the specific programme requirements (listed on each programme page under "Facts and Requirements") to see if you meet the prerequisites.
  • Check English requirements. For students who don't meet English requirement, we offer Pathway programmes.

STEP 3 Apply Online

Local JU Admission open: 16 October- 2 May
Deadline to receive all supporting documents: 15 May

Apply directly to us. We recommend our local Jönköping University admission as we are able to process applications faster. We recommend applying as early as possible due to the fact that programmes may fill up and close before the deadline, and processing time for residence permit applications (non-EU applicants) can be delayed.

Note:

  • If you have already applied through universityadmissions.se, the Swedish national admission (open October 16- January 15), you should not place an additional application for the same programme through our local JU admission. One application is sufficient. 
  • If you submit your application through our local admission, you must always upload your documents through our system.
  • Only one application per applicant will be processed. If you need to make changes to your application, please e-mail admissions.office@ju.se. Include your application id number and what should be changed.

STEP 5 Processing of the Application

  • Applicants will receive a confirmation via e-mail once an application has been placed.
  • The Admissions Office begins processing your application once the application is complete and all documents have been uploaded.
  • A web-based interview may be conducted as part of the admissions process.
  • NOTE: The application period may close early, if a programme becomes full, before the deadline.

STEP 6 Offer of Acceptance and what to do next

  • If admitted, an offer will be sent via e-mail. The applicant must accept the offer through the link in the e-mail, in order to receive the Letter of Acceptance (also via e-mail) as well as further instructions.
  • If you are required to pay tuition fees (who is required to pay? Opens in new window.), the invoice of the first instalment equivalent to one semester tuition fee, will be available a few days after you have received the letter of acceptance. Please note that the invoice should be paid within 3-5 weeks. Your payment needs to reach us by the due date indicated on the invoice. Note: as we approach the application deadline of May 2, admitted students will have less than 5 weeks to pay the fee. This is due to the fact that the processing of an application for residence permit can take 2-5 months after the payment has been confirmed by Jönköping University. See the information about residence permit for study.
