Admissions announcement: more students admitted to autumn programmes

33 out of 39 universities and higher education colleges are accepting more applicants for this period, reveal the Swedish Council for Higher Education (UHR). Some 16,172 people have been admitted, an increase of over seven per cent compared to the previous autumn semester. This figure is also slightly above the national average.

“It is gratifying that we can offer more people the opportunity to study with us. We work with some of the most important social missions and look forward to continuing to contribute to the benefit of society through the breadth of our education,” says Andreas Jacobsson, Pro-Vice-Chancellor for Education and Digitalisation at Malmö University.

The admission figures will now be analysed in more detail, for example, to be able to draw deeper conclusions about which programmes stand out. The second selection will be completed on 25 July, which may also affect the number of admissions.

At the national level, the range of courses on offer will also increase this autumn, as will the number of distance learning courses.

“After the pandemic, the demands of both current and prospective students for digital alternatives increased. We have worked systematically to meet the needs for flexible educational options while safeguarding our identity as an on-campus university with a unique location in the centre of Malmö,” says Jacobsson.
