How to apply to the Master's Programme in Strategic Human Resource Management and Labour Relations

Two application periods for the programme

• All international students are encouraged to apply in the first admission round. This round takes place many months before the start of the semester and gives students the time they need to pay their tuition fees, apply for and receive a residence permit (if required), find housing, etc.

• The second admission round is suggested for students from Sweden. Even applicants from an EU/EEA country have the possibility to apply, as they do not need a residence permit. This also applies to students who already live in Sweden and therefore do not need to apply for a residence permit. Non-EU/EEA students will most likely not have enough time to obtain their permit before the start of the semester.
