Eligibility Assessment
After the application deadline has passed, we will evaluate your eligibility based on the application you submitted. To qualify for admission to a program, you must meet two types of eligibility requirements:
1. Basic Eligibility
You must have a high school diploma or municipal adult education (Komvux) equivalent, with at least 2,250 points and passing grades in English 5, Mathematics 1, and Swedish 1 (or their equivalents). Equivalent qualifications may include:
- Studies at a folk high school (Folkhögskolan)
- A foreign high school diploma
- Other education or practical experience that qualifies you for admission to our programs
2. Specific Eligibility
Some programs have additional requirements that must be met to qualify for admission. These may include:
- Grades in specific high school courses
- Professional experience relevant to the program
If professional experience is a requirement, you must submit supporting documentation, such as work certificates or pay slips. To ensure acceptance of these documents, they must clearly state:
- Time period of employment (start and end dates)
- Extent of employment (percentage of full-time work)
- Job duties
Please note: Work certificates must also include your personal details and be dated and signed by the employer.
Specific requirements per program:
Data Analytics: Completion of Math 2
Frontend Developer: Completion of Math 2 and Programming 1
Motion Creative: Previous experience in Film, Photography or Sound Design
Other Ways to Prove Eligibility
If we assess your application as "not eligible," we will contact you to provide an opportunity to submit additional documentation. Note that any additional documents must be submitted by the specified deadline.
Below are alternative ways to demonstrate eligibility if you do not meet the formal requirements:
1. Apply Through Real Competence
If you do not meet the formal eligibility criteria, such as lacking a high school diploma, you may demonstrate equivalent knowledge through other means. For example:
- Practical experience in a relevant field
- Achieving a score higher than 8 on the Application Task
To claim real competence in your application, you must provide supporting documentation, such as certificates or other evidence, to prove your qualifications.
2. The 20% Rule
In exceptional cases, we may admit applicants under the "20% rule." This rule allows us to waive formal eligibility requirements for up to 20% of the available spots in a program. To qualify, you must demonstrate sufficient relevant experience, and we must determine that you are likely to succeed in the program and your future profession.
However, competition for these spots is very high. For this reason, we strongly recommend that you strive to meet eligibility requirements through other means wherever possible.
