Uppsala University aims for long-term relationships with other universities and does not enter into agreements only in order to accommodate one or two temporary students. Uppsala University only offers brief courses of basic Swedish to admitted exchange students and, in a few specific cases, to a limited number of students with an immigrant or similar background residing in Sweden. The students must pay for their housing and living expenses themselves. The minimum amount required by the Immigration Authorities is SEK 6,700 per month in order to obtain a residence permit or visa. Please note that even if you are eligible you still may not be admitted due to the large number of applicants to Uppsala University and the limited number of places.
Competition is very keen in most areas of study.
In this first step you may be able to find out whether the department considers it worthwhile for you to make a formal application. The departments decide on admission to graduate study themselves. The department will inform you of the the formal application procedure should it find your candidacy an interesting one. In order to have a chance of being considered you must, at least as a second step, enclose your full credentials. A statement on how you plan to finance your living expenses in Sweden should also be included.
