Students in their final year of bachelor's studies

As a master's applicant, you are required to document all semesters of your studies. Some universities may consider your application if you are in your last year of studies, provide a transcript for all completed semesters to date, and submit documentation from your university certifying that you are likely to be awarded your degree.
Certification from your current university
An official document stating that you are likely to be awarded the degree by the start of the Swedish programmed must be submitted with your application. The document must be issued through and certified by a representative of the Academic Registrar's Office, the Examinations Office or equivalent of the institution. Certification from other staff members, such as faculty or college staff members, will not be accepted.
Students conditionally admitted
If you've been conditionally admitted as a final-year student with the help of the above certification, you will have to present your complete transcript and degree once you register at your university at the start of the semester in Sweden.
English requirements
When you apply for studies at Swedish universities, you usually need to submit formal test evidence of your English abilities (TOEFL, IELTS, and Cambridge). However, if you are registered for the last semester of a programmed leading to a bachelor’s degree (equivalent to a Swedish Kandidatexamen), you might not have to. If you meet the requirements listed below, as well as can document them, you may be exempt. Following students do not need to submit a formal English test:
Students with a Bachelor's degree from a university where English is the only language of instruction, in accordance with the recommendations in the edition of the International Handbook of Universities that was current the year the degree was awarded.
Students with a Bachelor's degree (equivalent to a Swedish Kandidatexamen) in Engineering, Computer Science, Computer Applications, Medicine, Pharmacy, Science or Technology from India or Pakistan.
