Entrance Requirements for programmes given in English

1. Minimum admission requirements for the master's programmes include a degree from an internationally recognized university equivalent to a Bachelor's degree at a British university. The university has to be listed in the latest edition of the International Handbook of Universities/World List of Universities or Other Institutions of Higher Education*.
   * Students who do not hold such a degree are eligible provided they can show that they are registered for the last semester of a programme leading to such a degree. An official document stating that they are likely to be awarded the degree by the start of the programme must be handed in with the application. In order to begin master level studies at LiTH these students must present their bachelor degree certificates no later than Oct 15 (for admission to the autumn semester).
   
   
   
2. Language requirements:
   Applicants must have documented skills in English corresponding to the level of English in Swedish upper secondary education (English B).

   For applicants who have not studied in Swedish upper secondary education, skills in English are normally attested by means of an international language test, such as:

   • Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL), minimum score of 550 on the paper-based test, 213 on the computer-based test and 79-80 on the internet-based test.
   • International English Language Testing Service (IELTS), minimum score of 6,0, no band lower than 5,0
   • Cambridge ESOL Certificate of Proficiency in English/CPE or Certificate in Advanced English/CAE.
   
   The following applicants do not have to submit the results of a language test
   • Students with previous studies at a university with English as the only language of instruction, according to the latest edition of International Handbook of Universities/ World List of Universities and Other Institutions of Higher Education
   • Students holding a bachelor's degree (a Swedish Kandidatexamen) or equivalent academic qualifications with English as the major subject.
   • Students holding a bachelor's degree in Engineering, Science or Technology, awarded in India or Pakistan.
   • Students with 30 credits from a Nordic country and the language of instruction of the course/programme/university is English.
   
   
   
3. Specific requirements
