Studying in Sweden, from the official sources in our guide
Studying in Sweden
These apply to every international student in Sweden, including at Specialpedagogiska Skolmyndigheten. Each figure shows where it came from and when we last checked it.
Money you must show
For the whole period of the permit, which is granted for one or two years. Tuition must already be paid and does not count towards this.

Deadlines and intakes
Most international students apply in the first admissions round through University Admissions in Sweden (universityadmissions.se). For programmes starting in autumn 2027:
A second round opens 15 March 2027 with a 15 April deadline and results on 9 July, but that leaves too little time for tuition payment, a permit decision of up to three months, and housing. Treat the January round as the real one.
Language you need
No Swedish is needed for the permit or for English-taught programmes. The standard English requirement, called English 6, is set nationally:
Some programmes ask for English 7, which is higher: check your programme.
Free for students
Tell us what you want to study. Your request goes to the admissions team or to an adviser who works with them will contact you by email to help with your application. It costs you nothing.
Student reviews: none yet for Specialpedagogiska Skolmyndigheten. If you study or studied here, yours would be the first.
Every reviewer confirms their email address with a one-time link, and a person at Studies Multiverse reads each review before it appears. We publish good and bad reviews on the same terms, never edit them, never pay for them, and an institution cannot remove a review by paying us. Reviews sent from the institution’s own email domain are not accepted. Institutions can reply below a review. See our terms.
Get in touch
Studies Multiverse passes your question to the admissions office by email, and they reply to you directly. We do not sell your details to anyone.
For staff of Specialpedagogiska Skolmyndigheten
Staff can manage this page at no cost: correct the details, add your logo and a description, see how many students look at it, add photographs and courses, and answer the questions they send. All of it is free.
Students: this is not an application. To apply or ask about courses, visit Specialpedagogiska Skolmyndigheten’s website.
