International applicants

As an international student, you may apply to SSE with predicted grades in your last year of high school/IB studies. If you're a gap year student who already finished your high school studies and have your final grades, you may also apply as an early bird applicant (not available when applying with predicted grades). There are no tuition fees for EU/EEA/Swiss/Ukrainian citizens.

Key dates for the application process vary depending on whether you apply with predicted or final grades.

Application requirements

Two main areas are assessed in your application – your high school//IB diploma (predicted or final grades) and your university admission test score (SAT or ACT or ITB-Business):

1. High school/IB diploma (predicted or final grades)

  • You must have a GPA in your high school/IB diploma of at least the equivalent of 17.0 out of 20 in the Swedish high school system.

  • You must also meet specific subject requirements for Mathematics and English. If you do not meet the English requirement, you can also do an English proficiency test. We accept IELTS, TOEFL iBT, Cambridge Michigan Language Assessments, Pearson PTE Academic , and Cambridge ESOL.

     See the exact requirements for your country/diploma in the list below.

  • Applying with predicted grades
    From most countries and education systems, you can apply with predicted grades in your last year of studies.

    If your school cannot give you predicted grades, you can instead apply with your previous high school grades including the fall semester grades from your last year. Conditional admissions will be offered to students graduating after the application deadline. You must complete your application with final grades and documents no later than by the date of enrolment in August, 2026.

    From some countries and education systems, assessment cannot be made until final grades have been issued. If you are from one of these countries/education systems, you must instead take a gap year before you apply: Cameroon GCE, Cyprus (Apolytirion), Ghana, Greece (Apolytyrion), Kenya, Nigeria, Pakistan, Romania, Sri Lanka, Uganda.

How to apply

Apply in 5 easy steps described below:

  • 1. Submit application #1 to UniversityAdmissions.se. Apply from October 16, 2026 to January 15, 2027.

    Submit documents to UniversityAdmissions.se
    Submit all documents related to your high school studies to UniversityAdmissions.se: predicted/final grades, transcripts, diplomas/certificates. You also upload your passport. Find information about what required documents to submit from your country here. Read the general instructions for international Bachelor’s applicants here.

    All applicants can upload documents themselves at their account with UniversityAdmissions.se  But if your school doesn’t want to give the predicted grades directly to you as a student, the school can email them directly to UniversityAdmissions (UHR) to verifications@uhr.se. Write your application number in the email. There is a supporting documentation deadline on February 2nd in case your school cannot issue predicted grades or fall semester grades by the application deadline on January 15, 2027. Just make sure to submit both application #1 (UniversityAdmissions) and application #2 (SSE's application portal Full Fabric) before January 15, and make a note in the application sent to us stating what date you will submit the documents from your school.

    Please note: only upload diploma/transcripts and English test results to UniversityAdmissions.se. Do NOT upload CV/resume or SAT/ACT/ITB-Business test scores. This is done directly to SSE when you submit application #2 (see next step).

    • Important information for gap year students applying with final grades:
      If you're a gap year student applying with final grades, submit your final grades as soon as possible so that the Swedish Council of Higher Education can assess and convert your qualifications.

    • Important information for students applying with predicted grades
      If you apply with predicted grades, you generally submit transcripts from year 10, 11, and fall semester grades from year 12. And preferably, predicted final grades.

      - If you're an IB student applying with predicted grades, make sure to submit transcripts from your first IB year as well as predicted final IB grades.

      - If you're a student at an American High School applying with predicted grades, the school must email transcripts directly to UniversityAdmissions (UHR) to verifications@uhr.se and write your application number in the email.

      - When you apply with predicted grades, you might receive a message from UniversityAdmissions.se stating that you have an incomplete application. The reason is that most Swedish universities do not accept predicted grades and the information is not always aligned with SSE's specific application process. However, SSE does indeed accept predicted grades, so you may ignore that message.
       

    Application fee deadline: February 2, 2027 (only for non-EU/EEA/Swiss citizens)
    Please note: SSE does not charge an application fee.

    However, UniversityAdmissions.se charges a small application fee of SEK 900 for non- EU/EEA/Swiss citizens. There are however, some exceptions to this general rule. Find out if you are required to pay an application fee or not here. 

    If you are required to pay an application fee, UniversityAdmissions.se must have received the money no later than February 2, 2027. Find more information on how to pay your application fee here.

  • 2. Submit Application #2 to SSE's application portal Full Fabric (deadline: January 15, 2027)

    Except for the general application you do on UniversityAdmissions.se, you must also submit application #2 on SSE's own application portal Full Fabric (hhs.fullfabric.com) no later than January 15, 2027. If you do not submit application #2, you do not have a complete application.

    • Fill out the application form (please note that if you apply to both programs, you must fill out two separate forms - one for each program). This is also where you upload your university admissions test score (SAT/ACT/ITB-Business).

    • You also upload a 1-page CV/resume as a separate document. It should include relevant education, work/volunteer experience, and extracurricular activities. We do not expect you to have an extensive resume.

    We do not accept these documents uploaded at UniversityAdmissions.se nor sent to us by email. 

     
    Interested in a scholarship (tuition fee waiver)?
    For non-EU/EEA/Swiss/Ukrainian citizens who do need to pay a tuition fee, SSE offers a few 50 % tuition fee waiver scholarships.

    The application for a scholarship is submitted under the tab "Scholarships" when you apply to our Bachelor's programs in Full Fabric. 

    Scholarships are distributed on a merit and need basis,     taking into consideration program cohort diversity.

  • 3. Respond to any requests from SSE and keep track of messages from UniversityAdmissions.se

    If any additional steps are required related to your application, our BSc Admissions Team will notify you by email.

    UniversityAdmissions.se might also contact you regarding your qualifications.

    Make sure you use the same email address for both applications and check your inbox regularly.

    Please note: when you apply with predicted grades, you might receive a message from UniversityAdmissions.se stating that you have an incomplete application. The reason is that most Swedish universities do not accept predicted grades and the information is not always aligned with SSE's specific application process. However, SSE does indeed accept predicted grades, so you may ignore that message.

  • 4. Digital interview
    • For gap year students applying with final grades
      If you applied before the early application deadline in early November, 2026, you have a chance to get an offer from us already in December, 2026.

      We will send out invitations to the digital (online) interview to selected early applicants in mid-November, 2026. You then have one week to do the interview. You will also be notified if you were not selected.

      Please note that if you do not proceed to the early interviews and therefore cannot receive an offer from us in December, you still have the chance to be admitted in the spring along with the students applying with predicted grades (see below).

    • For students applying with predicted grades (and gap year students who did not receive an offer from us in December)
      If you are selected to proceed to the next round, we will send out invitations to the digital (online) interviews in mid-February, 2027. You then have one week to do the interview. You will also be notified if you were not selected.

      If you are not selected, you will still get a notification email.
  • 5. Accept your offer
    • Early bird applicants (gap year students applying with final grades only)

      If you applied before the early application deadline in early November, 2026, you will be notified if you are admitted in the second half of December, 2026.

      If you are admitted, you will need to reply to your offer in early February, 2027.

      Please note: if you were not admitted as an early bird applicant, you still keep your spot in the main application round and may be admitted later in the spring instead.

    • Non-early bird applicants (gap year students who missed the early application deadline as well as students applying with predicted grades)

      If you are admitted to SSE, we will send an offer in late March/early April, 2027. You will need to reply to your offer in early May, 2027.

FAQ

  • When is the application deadline?

    The international application round is open mid-October to mid-January every year. Find all important dates here.

  • What are the application requirements?

    You can find our application requirements here. For your convenience, we have specified what the exact requirements are for most countries and diplomas here.

  • What GPA do I need to have to be admitted?

    Admission to SSE's Bachelor programs is highly competitive and you normally need higher grades than the minimum requirement.

    To meet the minimum application requirement, you need a GPA corresponding to 17.0 out of 20 in the Swedish upper secondary system. For IB diploma students, the requirement is an IB score of 31. 

    Application requirements for different countries/diplomas are listed here.

    Please note that we do also require a university admission test score (SAT or ACT or ITB-Business). Find out more here.

  • Do I need to do the SAT test to apply?

    Yes, all international applicants to our BSc programs need to submit a university admission test score from SAT or ACT or ITB-Business. Find out more about the cut-off scores and upcoming test dates here.

  • Do I need to write a motivational letter/personal statement?

    No, you are not required to and should not include a motivational letter or personal statement in your application.

  • What do you look for in the CV/resume?

    Your CV/resume should be 1 page and include relevant experience, education, volunteer experience, and extracurricular activities. Please note that we do not expect you to have an extended resume.

  • I’m in my final year of high school and won’t have my grades before the application deadline. Can I still apply?

    Yes. Students graduating from high school/IB the same year as the start of their SSE studies are welcome to apply but must upload a study plan including predicted grades and previous grades in the application. Exactly how this is done depends on which country you are from. Make sure to check what applies to your country on this page.

    A study plan is something from your school (e.g. enrolment schedule) that shows what you are/will be studying the coming/final semester, to complete your diploma. Preferably, this includes your predicted grades, but if not, we’ll use your current transcripts to estimate your final grades.

    Conditional admissions will be offered to students graduating after the application deadline. You must complete your application with final grades and documents no later than by the date of enrolment in August.

  • I have a Swedish citizenship, but studied outside of Sweden. Should I apply as an international student?

    If you have studied outside of Sweden and have a non-Swedish high school/upper secondary diploma, you can apply in the round for international applicants. This round is open from mid-October to mid-January every year.

    It is also possible to apply with foreign merits in the round for Swedish applicants (open mid-March to mid-April every year), but please note that the requirements differ. For example, you must have Swedish proficiency. If you want to apply for the BSc program in Business & Economics (not required for the BSc in Retail Management) you must also have completed the modern language requirement (having studied a third language besides Swedish and English).

    If you do not have Swedish in your high school studies, but are fluent in Swedish – you can take the TISUS test to meet the requirement on Swedish 3. Read more about this test here.

    Please note: You can only apply in one of the application round. Read more about the international application round here. Read more about the national application round here.

  • Who can apply as an early bird applicant?

    If you have already finished your high school studies and have a complete diploma, you can choose to apply as an early bird applicant to have the chance to get a quicker admission notification (second half of December instead of April). If you are not selected in December, you still have the chance to get an offer in April.

  • Can I apply to more than one BSc program?

    Yes, you can apply to both our BSc programs. However, you need to clearly state which program is your first choice and submit a separate application to SSE's application portal Full Fabric for each program.

  • Can I apply in both application rounds?

    No, you can only apply in either the international round (also called the "first application round) or the national application round (also called the "second application round).

    If you have Swedish proficiency but study in another country, you can usually apply in the national application round. Please contact bsc.admissions@hhs.se for advice regarding what the most suitable option is in your particular case.

  • Do I need to pay tuition fees?

    This depends on which citizenship you have:

    • EU/EEA/Swiss/Ukrainian citizens
      Citizens (passport holders) of an EU/EEA country, Switzerland or Ukraine are not required to pay tuition fees, so our programs are free of charge.

    • Non-EU/EEA/Swiss/Ukrainian citizens
      Non-EU/EEA citizens are generally required to pay tuition fees (120,000 SEK per year for the BSc programs). There are however some exceptions to this general rule.

      There are SSE scholarships (50 % tuition fee waiver) you can apply for if you are a non-EU/EEA/Swiss student who have to pay the tuition fee.

      Find out more about tuition fees and scholarships on this page.



  • Do I need to pay an application fee?

    SSE does not charge any application fee.

    However, UniversityAdmissions.se charges a small application fee of 900 SEK depending on which citizenship you have. In general, applicants who are citizens (passport holders) of countries outside of EU/EEA/Switzerland are required to pay application and tuition fees. There are however some exceptions to this general rule. Read more here.

  • Do you offer any scholarships?

    Yes, SSE offers a limited number of scholarships (50 % tuition fee waivers) to non-EU/EEA/Swiss/Ukrainian citizens (passport holders) who need to pay tuition fees (SEK 120,000 per year).

    You can apply for the scholarship to help cover the tuition fee. Please read more about the different BSc scholarships on this page.

  • Can I transfer from another university?

    No, unfortunately not. We do not allow for transfers, or transfers of credit, and only provide our BSc programs in their entirety (3 years full-time studies).

  • Do I need a residence permit/study permit and how do I apply for it?

    Students from a non-EU or non-EEA country require a residence permit. The Swedish Migration Agency (Migrationsverket) is the public authority responsible for residence permits. If you get admitted to SSE you can apply for the residence permit for studies after you have paid the first tuition fee installment. Read more here (UniversityAdmissions.se) and here (The Swedish Migration Agency).

  • Do you offer student housing?

    At SSE, we have an housing office that can help you get housing directly through SSE or through other student accommodation providers in Stockholm. Read more about student accommodation and housing here.

    We also recommend that you ask our international students about housing or anything else you might be wondering about. Chat with them and read their blog posts here.
