If your status is “reserve”
Okay, so this means you’re on the waiting list for your programme or course. But don’t panic, you could still be admitted later. It depends on a few things. Here’s what it means if you’re on the waiting list. ↗️
If you weren’t admitted
We’re really sorry to hear that. Sweden is a popular study destination, and many highly qualified students tend to apply. But don’t give up. Why not try again? On 1 June you can apply for studies starting in the spring of 2023. ↗️ And then in October you’ll be able to apply for programmes starting in autumn 2023. (Just a heads-up – there’s usually way more programmes to choose from in the autumn intake.)
