Sweden admissions guide
Applying to a Swedish university: admissions guide
Admission to a Swedish university runs through one central service, and the rules about eligibility, selection and fees differ depending on where you are applying from. Draimo helps you assemble and compare that information; the official service remains the only place an application is made.
One application service, two front doors
Universityadmissions.se is the English service and antagning.se is the Swedish one. They are the same system, so an account and an application exist once, not twice. Deadlines, required documents and selection rules are published there and change between admission rounds.
Work out eligibility before you apply
Entry requirements (behörighet) and selection (urval) are separate things, and a programme can be one without the other. Ask Draimo to compare programmes against the same criteria, note which requirements you already meet and which you do not, and list what still needs checking on the official service.
- Compare several programmes against one set of criteria
- Separate what is confirmed from what is an assumption
- Build a checklist of documents and dates to verify officially
Fees depend on where you are from
Citizens of the EU, EEA and Switzerland generally do not pay tuition at Swedish universities; applicants from elsewhere usually pay an application fee and tuition. Scholarship routes exist and are published by the universities and by the Swedish Institute. Because this varies by nationality and by programme, confirm your own case against the official pages rather than a summary.
What Draimo does not do
Draimo cannot submit an application, upload documents to the admissions service, pay an application fee, or change a decision. It is a research and preparation workspace. Every action belongs on Universityadmissions.se or antagning.se.
Use Draimo for the next step
Bring your notes, files, questions, or comparison criteria into Maria and turn them into a brief, checklist, study plan, research task, or finished document.

Frequently asked questions
Can Draimo apply to a Swedish university for me?
No. Applications are made on Universityadmissions.se or antagning.se. Draimo helps you research programmes, compare requirements and prepare a checklist before you go there.
Do I pay tuition at a Swedish university?
It depends on your citizenship and programme. EU, EEA and Swiss citizens generally do not pay tuition; others usually pay an application fee and tuition. Confirm your own case on the official admissions pages.
