How to Apply: The application is an online application, consisting of two steps. They encourage you to apply for programmes as soon as possible, but no later than 15 January 2020, since this will greatly expedite the assessment process. However, there is no correlation between how early an application is made and the likelihood of receiving a scholarship.

Note, You must first make an online application to one or several Master’s programs at Chalmers at the website universityadmissions.se (see section 1-3 above). Each applicant is assigned an 8 digit application number (from your application for Master’s programs at universityadmissions.se) and this number is required in order to complete the application (step 2 below).

STEP 1

Fill in and submit the request to require a personal link to the application form. You must make sure to use the same e-mail address as in your account at universityadmissions.se

STEP 2

Soon after you have submitted the request (step 1), you will be sent a personal link to the application form. Please note that it may take a few days until you receive the link. If you have not received it, please check your junk mail.

Make sure to have your 8 digit application number (from your application for Master’s programs at universityadmissions.se) at hand. This is of extreme importance since your application is connected to your current application number on universityadmissions.se. The number will start with digit 1 and it is required in order to complete the application.

In this step you will also be prompted to submit a letter of (intent) motivation in your personal account at universityadmisisons.se. If you haven’t done it already, be sure to do so before 1st of February
