Applying as a final year Bachelor's student
You can apply for a Master’s programme at Lund University even if you are in the final year of your Bachelor’s studies. Learn how to submit the Statement of enrolment status form and what you need to do if you are offered conditional admission.
You need to be awarded your degree before the start of the Master's programme. If your final transcript is not available by then, you may not be allowed to begin your studies.
What to include with your application
Apart from other required documents, you must also submit the following documents with your application:
- An official document confirming that you are registered for the final semester of your Bachelor's programme (Statement of enrolment status form)
- An official transcript of records showing your academic results to date.
Statement of enrolment status form
University Admissions in Sweden provides a template form that you can use to confirm that you are in the final year of your Bachelor's studies. You can download the template from the University Admissions in Sweden website:
[Final year of bachelor's studies – Universityadmissions.se]
If you are in the final year of a Bachelor's programme in Sweden and your study records are available in Ladok, you do not need to submit a certificate of ongoing studies (Statement of enrolment status form).
If you are offered admission
If you are offered admission, your admission will be conditional. This means you must provide official proof that you have completed your degree before your programme at Lund University begins.
Your application may continue to show as conditional even after you upload the final documents, as they are often processed close to the start of the semester. If anything is missing, you will be notified through your online account.
Please note that if you are conditionally admitted, you must also follow the enrolment instructions to secure your place.

Submitting your degree documents
You need to submit your final degree documents as soon as you receive them. In most cases, you can upload scanned originals to your Universityadmissions.se account. Always check the country-specific instructions, as requirements may vary.
We also recommend that you bring the original documents with you to Lund in case they are requested.
- Lund University: You do not need to upload anything, as Lund can access your degree application directly through the Ladok system.
- Other Swedish universities: Upload a screenshot of your degree application, including your name and date of birth, to your account on Universityadmissions.se.
Lund University may grant an exemption in this situation. To qualify, you must submit:
- a final transcript showing all completed courses
- a certificate confirming that you have applied for your degree or that you meet all graduation requirements
Once your diploma has been issued, you must upload it without delay.
