inträdesbehörighet

inträdesbehörighet refers to the formal qualifications or requirements that an individual must meet to be admitted to a particular educational program or institution. In Sweden, this term is commonly used in the context of university admissions.

To gaininträdesbehörighet for higher education studies in Sweden, applicants typically need to have successfully completed upper secondary education. This usually means obtaining a high school diploma or equivalent qualifications. Specific courses or subject combinations may also be required depending on the program of study. For example, to study engineering, a strong foundation in mathematics and physics is often a prerequisite.

For individuals educated abroad, their qualifications are assessed to determine if they are equivalent to Swedish upper secondary education and meet the specific course requirements for the desired program. This assessment is usually carried out by the Swedish Council for Higher Education (UHR).

Beyond academic prerequisites, some programs may have additional entry requirements such as specific test scores (e.g., standardized tests), portfolios, or interviews. These additional requirements are designed to assess a broader range of skills and suitability for the chosen field. The exactinträdesbehörighet for each program is detailed by the respective university or university college.
