Your Direct Path to a Degree at Jönköping University
Jönköping University Pathway Programmes help you gain the English proficiency, academic skills, and subject qualifications required for your future Bachelor's or Master's studies at JU or other universities in Sweden. We bridge the gap between your current qualifications and the entry standards for a full university degree.
Minimum Requirement: IELTS 5.0 or equivalent.
Your 3 Steps to Application
Applying to Pathway is a clear process.
- Select Your Programme: You may apply for the Pathway Programme alone. Recommended: Apply for the Pathway and your intended Bachelor's or Master's degree at JU at the same time to secure a conditional offer for both.
- Submit Documents: Provide your academic transcripts, English proficiency proof (such as your IELTS test results), and a copy of your passport through the JU Direct Application.
- Receive Offer: Once accepted, you will receive a conditional offer letter for both the Pathway and your future degree, giving you peace of mind about your study journey in Sweden.
Why Choose a Pathway Programme at JU?
Our Pathway Programmes are the best way to prepare for your university degree in Sweden. You can apply if you need better skills in areas like English or High School Mathematics. We help you reach the level you need to start your degree and achieve your full academic potential.
Conditional Offer to a Degree Programme
You'll get a conditional offer for your pre-selected Bachelor's or Master's degree at Jönköping University (JU) right when you apply for the Pathway Programme. This immediately gives you certainty about your study plans from the very start.
The condition required to secure your degree place is simple: successfully complete all required courses in your specific Pathway Programme. This includes reaching the necessary English level and successfully completing any academic subject courses (like Mathematics or Science) required for your degree entry. When you successfully finish Pathway, you'll receive a Pathway Certificate. This certificate acts as your official language proof, matching the IELTS 6.5 level (the same level as the Swedish upper secondary course English 6).
Important Note: The successful completion of the Pathway Programme guarantees your entry only if you have met all other academic eligibility requirements for your specific degree programme. You must meet all entry requirements to be fully admitted.
