Ranking your choices

Select your programme and your back-ups

When applying for Master's degree studies, you need to go to the University Admissions's website and select one Master's programme, but you also have the option of adding up to three back-up programmes. If you are applying for Bachelor's degree studies, you choose one programme, with the option of adding up to seven back-up programmes. However, please note that you can only be offered admission to one programme in both cases.

If you apply to more than one programme, it is extremely important to rank the programmes in order of your preference (i.e. rank the programme/university of your main choice that you would most like to be admitted to as priority 1 and your back-ups in order as priority 2, and so on).

If you meet the admission requirements, there is a place available and you are selected, you will receive an offer for your main choice (first-choice) programme. 

If you are offered admission to your main choice (first-choice) programme, your backup programme choices will be deleted. If you are not offered a place in the main choice programme on your list, only then can you be offered admission for your second choice, and so on.

Note that if you are also applying for a Lund University scholarship, your main choice in Sweden should be a Lund University programme.
