International applications
This programme has a two-step application process for international applicants:
Step 1
Apply on-line via UniversityAdmissions.se, Sweden’s national application system. Before applying, make sure you read all instructions from BTH for prospective students, as well as the guidance posted at UniversityAdmissions.se.
A direct link to our programme at UniversityAdmissions.se can be found here. Please be sure that when you apply online that you carefully rank the programmes to which you apply. If you are accepted by your top ranked programme, you will not have the option to attend any lower ranked options, even if you would have been accepted by these lower ranked programmes.
The online applications are officially open from November 11, 2015 to January 15, 2016. Please be sure to apply online on-time, otherwise your application will be considered late, and will most likely not be considered.
