How to apply

Please note that participation in this course DOES NOT make you eligible for a Swedish residence permit.

PART A, completion of the online application

1: Complete the application online on Studera before the deadline.

2: Read the "How to apply" link in the upper right corner in the "Your basket"  box.

3: Click the “add” button, lower right

4: Click the “to application ...” link in the upper right corner in the basket box

5: Go to “Create your user account”  without a Swedish civic registration number (unless you already have one) and click “create a user account"


6: Proceed with the application process.

You have now created a user account, and selected the course Intro to Strategic Sustainable Development. There is an application fee of 900 SEK that will need to be paid by all students (undependent on the country of residence).  You will be able to choose between card payment and bank transfer payment.

The payment of the application fee is essential for Studera to proceed with your application, and this year has been introduced for students from all countries.

Very Important: The application fee (900 SEK) is the only payment we will need from you until you get notification on whether or not your application has been successful and you have been admitted to the course. BTH will follow up with notifications to the students that have been admitted to the course.

PART B, follow up with the required documents:

Send the following supporting documents subsequently. They have to arrive at Studera to the following address.

University Studies in Sweden
FE 1, SE-833 83  Stroemsund, SWEDEN
(go to: https://www.studera.nu/studera/1736.html):

a.       Cover sheet

b.      Copies of Certificates and diplomas from previous studies at an internationally recognized higher education institution (university or university college)

c.       Transcripts of completed courses and grades for each semester (including course list). If possible, sort them in reverse chronological order, i. e. the most recent on top

Important Notes: at every iteration of the course there will be two different deadlines.

One for Online application.
The other for Supporting documents

Application Status:

If you have applied online before the deadline you might have received a message that says "Requirements not fulfilled". This could be simply because your documents have not arrived to Studera yet, so don't worry.
