Important Information Regarding the Application for the Degree Certificate
Please note that the last day for submitting the application for the Degree certificate is the 10th of June 2013 if you wish to receive it before the summer break. The application with the necessary documents should be handed in at the student office desk (Studentexpeditionen, House C, 4th floor) or sent by mail/fax, see address/faxnumber below, when all your results have been registered. Please also note that late applications will be processed only if time allows and may only be processed after the start of the Autumn term. It is also very important that all relevant grades must have been registered before you submit the above application.

Fees
For students coming from outside the EU/EEA/Switzerland, application and tuition fees will apply from the autumn semester 2011. There are some exceptions to this general rule. Higher education in Sweden is free for students coming from the European Union (EU), the European Economic Area (EEA) and Switzerland, so these students do not need to pay the application fee nor tuition fees. Students that have already commenced their studies before this period will not be required to pay fees. Likewise, exchange students are also exempted from fees.

The Swedish government has presented a bill outlining tuition and application fees for students from non-EU/EEA countries from the 2011/2012 academic year, to be supplemented by scholarship programs. Please visit https://www.universityadmissions.se/intl/start for further information.
The Department of Law provides no assistance in finding suitable scholarships for applicants. Neither does the department offer scholarships for successful applicants.

Student Union membership is no longer obligatory in Sweden. Current information on the cost of Student Union membership is available from the Student Union website.

The students will have to buy the required literature and in some of the programmes there are fees for the materials handed out during the course of 1000 SEK (about 110 Euro).

Tuition Fees
The cost for full-time studies in law is SEK 90,000 per year.

Application Fee
The application fee is SEK 900. There is no application fee for students coming from the European Union EU/EEA and Switzerland.

Admission
Applicants to the Master's degree programme must hold a university diploma in laws or an equivalent foreign law degree of at least 120 (180 ECTS) credit points (a three-year-degree)

The English language entry requirement is the equivalent of English studies at upper secondary (high school) level in Sweden, called English Course B/English 6.

Applicants whose first language is not English are normally required to take a Cambridge test (IELTS test) or a TOEFL test  (Test of English as a Foreign Language).
A score of approximately 6.5 (with no part of the test below 5.5), on the IELTS test or 250 on the Computer-based version of the TOEFL test, 600 on the paper based version or 90 on the Internet Based TOEFL test or the equivalent, is required for admission.

In each case, an overall assessment of the applicant’s potential for a successful completion of the programme will be made.

For a complete application to Master's degree programme at Stockholm University your application must be supported by the following documentation, sorted in the same order as this list.

1. Cover sheet

2. Certificates and diplomas from previous education at an internationally recognised higher education institution
(N.B. Students who do not hold the required degree, but are registered for the last semester of a programme leading to such a degree, may be accepted.
An official document stating that they are likely to be awarded the degree by the start of the programme must be sent in with the application.)

3. Transcripts of completed courses and grades (including course list). Sort them in reverse chronological order, i. e. the most recent on top
(In addition, certain countries have specific documentation requirements - see information given here https://www.universityadmissions.se/intl/start)

4. Proof of English language skills
(see information below and information given here https://www.universityadmissions.se/intl/start)

5. Proof that you meet the specific entry requirements:

5a. A statement of purpose (1-2 pages where you state your reasons why you want to take part in the programme you have applied for)

5b. Two letters of recommendation (from professors, relevant employers etc.)

Only send one set of documents. Avoid using staplers, paper clips, and documents printed on both sides.

N.B. Please, only submit the required documents that are listed here above.
Sending in multiple sets of documents will not increase your chances of being offered a place. This will only create problems and delays in the processing of your application due to the large number of pages of documents that must be reviewed. Please only send one set of documents.
