Information for students from Sweden

Students should hold the Avgångsbetyg / Slutbetyg från Gymnasieskola (previously Studentexamen) or Upper Secondary School Leaving Certificate.

For competitive courses you should have a high proportion of A grades plus A in relevant subjects. For less competitive courses you may be asked for an overall average mark of C.

We may also consider students from the Nordic Folk High Schools. 

This information is provided as guidance and requirements may vary for individual courses, which often require high grades in relevant subjects.

Students taking A levels or the IB should refer to the online undergraduate prospectus for entry requirements.

Students taking APs or SATIIs should refer to entry requirements for the USA.

A masters and bachelors degree from a recognised university are usually required for PhD entry.

Qualifications equivalent to a masters degree are:

• Licentiatexamen (Licentiate)
• Magisterexamen
• Professional Master’s Degree
• Yrkesexamen

Exceptional students may be considered for PhD entry without a masters qualification.

See the masters section for guidance on the grades we typically require from Swedish universities. These will vary depending on the university where you have studied and the course you are applying for at Nottingham. 

You should identify possible supervisors at Nottingham before applying and prepare a research proposal to submit with your application.
