What are Pathway Programmes?

JUE offers Pathway Programmes that are designed to help international students meet the requirements needed to enter a bachelor’s or master’s degree program at universities.

Pathway is ideal for all students who want to study a university program in Sweden, including those aiming to attend our partner universities, as well as for those who prefer to complete a Pathway programme and then return to their home country to continue their university studies there.

To study at some universities, students are required to have a certain level of proficiency in the English language, mathematics, or a High School diploma + one year of university studies. On Pathway, students can complete the degree requirements, develop academic language, and improve their social skills. They also get the experience of living in Sweden, familiarizing themselves with the local culture and meeting people from all over the world.

The programme helps you adjust to the challenges of living and studying abroad. You will be supported at every step so you can focus on achieving your certificate. In other words, Pathway helps you to keep your future in focus!

Pathway Certificate functions as a language level certificate corresponding to IELTS 6.5, the same level as the Swedish upper secondary course English 6. However, the admission process does not necessarily guarantee students' entry. Other eligibility requirements may have to be met to be admitted.


In collaboration with BI Norwegian Business School (BI), Jönköping University and JUE have created a joint Pathway Program that gives direct entry to Bachelor of Business Administration or Bachelor of Data Science for a Business degree at BI. You must get a Pathway certificate to get the direct entry to one of the programmes at BI.
