EU/EEA students
If you are in your final year of upper secondary school, you must apply in the second admission round (March–April). The documentation deadline in early July gives you time to complete your studies and submit your final transcript.

You should not apply in the first admission round, as the selection process takes place in April before you receive your final grades. Without a complete transcript, you cannot receive a merit rating, and by the time your grades are available, all study places have been offered.

Non-EU/EEA students
If you are in your final year, you should apply in the next main admission round (October–January). As a non-EU/EEA student, you need a residence permit to study in Sweden, and there is usually not enough time to receive one if you apply in the second round. Please note that the application fee (900 SEK) is non-refundable.

• Admissions rounds and spring semester availability
  

Yes, upper secondary high school transcripts are required to verify your eligibility. A statement of purpose/motivation letter is not required.

The selection is based on final school grades or Swedish Scholastic Aptitude Test.

It means the application is still open, but admission is only possible if there are available places.

If you are a student from outside the EU, EEA or Switzerland, you are required to pay application fee for higher education studies in Sweden. Applications will not be processed without this fee. Exemption for this rule are students from the EU, EEA or Switzerland, they do not pay an application fee.

If you are a student from outside the EU, EEA or Switzerland, you are required to pay tuition fees for higher education studies in Sweden. The exact amount varies depending on the programme. Detailed information is published on Universityadmissions.se when the application round is open. If you are a student from EU, EEA or Switzerland you do not pay tuition fee.

• Tuition and application fees
  

Yes, you are exempted tuition fee if you are a student from EU/EEA or Switzerland. You may also be exempt if you hold a permanent residence permit in Sweden or if you are a family member of someone who does. Other exemptions also apply, for example for students in exchange programmes or those with certain types of residence rights. However, get updated information from the Swedish Migration Agency and see what the current rules are.

Yes, although the programme is free of charge for EU/EEA, and Swiss students, you need to cover your own laptop and course material.

No, the programme is designed for full-time study.

Programme directors and supervisors provide information about available projects. You can also propose your own project connected to research or industry.

Yes, many theses are conducted in collaboration with companies or organisations and can be carried out fully or partly at a distance.

Yes, international students with a residence permit for studies are allowed to work in Sweden during their period of study. However, no matter if you are admitted as a campus or distance student, this is not a self-study or self-paced programme. All teaching and scheduled activities take place during the daytime, and the workload corresponds to around 40 hours per week. Your studies should therefore be regarded as a full-time commitment. We do not recommend combining work and study, as it will make it very difficult to successfully complete the programme.

Yes, each programme has a programme coordinator. If you would like to contact the programme coordinator, you can fill in the enquiry form below with your question.

As a student in Computer Game Development and Programming, you will be given access to your own personal workstation in our shared computer lab from day one. These game development workstations have the specifications required to help you complete your coursework.

That said, having your own laptop is highly recommended for group work, meetings, and studying outside scheduled lab hours.
