Whether you are currently in the US and want an entirely new experience, or in the UK and want to try living abroad before Brexit possibly slams the Euro door in your face, there might just be a corner of Sweden which will surprise you.

Malmö, situated at the very southern tip of Sweden, enjoys a milder climate than much of Scandinavia, and has easy access to Copenhagen’s international airport just 20 minutes away. As Sweden’s third largest city, Malmö will enthral you – while not hitting your wallet as hard as Scandinavia’s larger cities.

Admissions to Malmö University for autumn 2017 are open until January 16th – so what are you waiting for? You can find everything you need to know here.

But here’s a handy checklist to help you get started!

1. Pick a programme

First things first, find your degree programme. Whether it’s a bachelor’s or a master’s, Malmö University prides itself on creating educations with a social conscience, it is at the heart of all that we do.

All our English-language taught programmes are designed to keep you on the cutting edge of an increasingly competitive and global job market, check them out here.

Everyone from outside of Sweden applies the same way, by creating an account on www.universityadmissions.se. It is super simple to use and help is always at hand from a member of our admissions team!

2. Invest in your future

If you’re coming from outside of the European Union or the EEA, then you will need to pay an application fee. If you are in the EU, then now’s the time to provide evidence of your citizenship. Find out all you need to know here.

3. Admin time!

There is nothing the Swedes like more than a bit of bureaucracy, to ensure you get on your programme of choice, you’ll need to send in the right documents.

There are different requirements depending on whether you are choosing to study a bachelor’s or a master’s programme, so double-check to make sure you’re sending the right stuff! Everything is easily explained here.

4. While you’re waiting

Instead of continuingly refreshing your browser awaiting news, why not look into potential accommodation? While there is guaranteed housing for fee paying students, most Malmö students find a place to live on the private market; our housing pages are full of great tips and good advice.
