Admission planning

A little clarity.
A better next step.

Admission planning

Academic eligibility

  • A 180-credit bachelor's degree with at least 90 credits in computer and systems sciences, informatics, information systems or equivalent is required.
  • For 2027, the programme requests its summary sheet and motivation information.
  • The departmental FAQ states that separate CVs and recommendation letters are not considered in selection.

Admission planning

Language requirements

  • English 6/English Level 2 is required.
  • One national evidence route is IELTS Academic 6.5 overall with no component below 5.5; approved qualification-based alternatives and certificate rules must also be checked.

Admission planning

Study intakes

  • The programme is offered for the autumn intake.
  • The departmental FAQ identifies the next application cycle as autumn 2027.
  • This programme participates in the first international admissions round only, not the later March round.

Admission planning

Application deadlines

  • The department publishes 16 October 2026–15 January 2027 for autumn 2027 applications.
  • Do not wait for Sweden's second application round: the course catalogue expressly excludes that route for this programme.

Admission planning

International tuition

  • The departmental FAQ quotes SEK 135,000 per academic year for its tuition-fee-liable master's programmes, excluding its differently priced Health Informatics route.
  • The same FAQ discusses the next 2027 intake, but the fee line is not separately cohort-labelled; confirm the 2027 invoice rather than treating this as a guaranteed fixed two-year total.

Admission planning

Scholarships & funding

  • The Stockholm University Scholarship Scheme offers competitive tuition coverage to eligible fee-paying students admitted in the first international round.
  • Living costs are not covered.
  • Qualifying admitted applicants receive scholarship-application instructions after the admission results; this is not an automatic award or a scholarship form due with the January course application.
