The application deadline for most programs at Swedish universities was January 17. If you have submitted the online application — what’s next you might wonder.
First of all you need to make sure that you submit your supporting documents to Studera.nu as well as pay the application fee (if applicable) before January 28. If you don't need to pay the application fee you would instead need to send documents proving your exemption to Studera.nu. The address that you should send all your supporting documentation to is:
University Studies in Sweden
FE 1
SE-833 83 Stroemsund
SWEDEN
You should however, before sending any documents, carefully read all the information at Studera.nu (see links below) about the application process, to make sure that you don’t miss anything.
This would also be the time to apply for any of the scholarships from the Swedish Institute, if there is one that suits your profile and background (if you haven’t already). The deadlines vary, but most have a deadline between January 21-31. You might also want to be on the lookout for other scholarships. Scholarshipportal.eu is a decent resource for finding all kinds of scholarships for studies in Europe.
If you haven’t sent all the documentation in time or finished your online application before the deadline, your application will be considered late. That means it will be processed after the regular applications (those submitted in time) and only if time allows.
The results of the degree program application process will be sent to you sometime between April 1 to April 18. Make sure to reply as soon as possible if you are accepted. The time for the results of the scholarship selection procedure varies, but most likely the results will be published in April or May. Read more about it on the respective scholarship pages.
If you have been accepted to any of the programs you applied for, the next steps would be to pay the first installment of tution fees (if applicable), apply for a residence permit (if applicable) and start looking for accomodation. More about that later.
