Stockholm University admission requirements

If you’re applying from Bangladesh, the process is clear but slightly different depending on whether you’re aiming for a Bachelor’s or a Master’s. The whole thing is online, and once you know the requirements, it feels more manageable.

For a Bachelor’s degree:

• HSC or A-Levels with good results.
• IELTS or TOEFL score.
• Some programmes may ask for subjects like Math or Science.

For Master’s degree:

• Bachelor’s degree from a recognized Bangladeshi university.
• GPA that meets programme requirements.
• IELTS/TOEFL proof of English.
• In some cases: Statement of Purpose, recommendation letters, or a CV.

Tip for Bangladeshi students: Apply early. Many students wait until the last moment and face problems with document attestation and bank solvency proof. Submitting before the deadline not only reduces stress but also gives more time for corrections if needed.

Stockholm University tuition fees for international students

If you’re from Bangladesh, you have to pay tuition at Stockholm University. The amount depends on the programme. Science and tech courses usually cost more. Social science and the arts are a bit lower.

• Bachelor’s programmes: around SEK 90,000 – 140,000 per year
• Master’s programmes: around SEK 95,000 – 145,000 per year

That means roughly BDT 9 to 14 lakh per year, depending on the exchange rate. Remember, this is only tuition. The First few months are always costly. Rent, food, transport — everything hits at once. Call us now at +880-1615-000125 for more details!

Application process at Stockholm University from Bangladesh

Applying isn’t too hard, but you need to be careful. Everything goes through the online portal. No big files by courier, no running here and there. But the tricky part is the timing. If you miss the deadline, there’s no second chance.

• Choose your subject first. Bachelor’s or Master’s, check the list.
• Collect your papers. Mark sheets, certificates, passport, and IELTS result. Some courses want SOP and a recommendation, too.
• Make an account at universityadmissions.se. That’s the official site.
• Pay the fee, around SEK 900. Without payment, your file won’t move.
• Upload everything. Double-check before you click submit.
• Then wait. Results come out on the portal. If selected, you’ll get the letter.
• After that, it’s time for your residence permit (student visa).

Tip for Bangladeshi students: Don’t leave it for the last week. Bank solvency paper, attestation — these things take time. Better to finish early so you can breathe easy.

Stockholm University: How to apply online?

Everything for Stockholm University goes through one website: universityadmissions.se. That’s the official portal for Sweden. You don’t need to send any hard copy at the start. It’s all digital.

• Go to the site and create an account.
• Select your programme and add it to the application.
• Upload scanned copies of your mark sheets, certificates, passport, and IELTS/TOEFL score.
• Write and upload SOP or recommendations if the programme asks.
• Pay the application fee, around SEK 900.
• Submit before the deadline and keep checking the portal for updates.

Note: Scan your papers clearly. Blurry documents often get rejected. And remember, pay the fee early — many forget, and the application doesn’t count without it.

Study abroad in Stockholm, Sweden – Life as a Bangladeshi student

Life in Stockholm is different. Many Bangladeshi students settle in quicker than they first think. The campus has people from everywhere — Asia, Europe, Africa. It’s not just sitting in lectures either. Teachers push for group work, open talk, and sharing ideas. Very different from the style back home. That feels new for many students coming from Bangladesh.

Finding halal food is not a big problem either — there are Bangladeshi and South Asian grocery shops in Stockholm. Winters are cold, but the student community is active, so you don’t feel alone. Carry some warm clothes from home, but be ready to buy proper winter jackets in Sweden. Local ones are better suited to the climate.
