You must Bring your Original Documents with You

When arriving to BTH, you must be able to show your originals. This means that you are obligated to bring all of your original academic documents with you.

Note! Your application documents that were sent to University Admissions postal address are kept at this address, not at BTH.

Will Application Documents be returned?

Normally no documents submitted with your application will be returned, which is why you should never send your originals to Universityadmissions's postal address: University Admissions in Sweden. Instead, your documents should be official documents sent from your university or copies certified by a Notary Public.

Only in the case of an Admission officer requesting your original documents, will these be returned.
