Late application for autumn

Application for the autumn semester has now closed, but some courses may open for late application from 14 July.

Those courses given in the autumn where we still have room for more students will open for late application on 14 July, via antagning.se and/or universityadmissions.se. Please note that when applying late, eligible applicants are admitted in the order of applying so it is good to apply early!

None of our programmes starting autumn 2023 will be open for late application.

Even if it says on universityadmissions.se that a course is "closed for late application", late application may open on 14 July, and if it says that "late application will open on 14 July" this is no guarantee. Unfortunately we don't have much control over that text.

Can I reapply if my application has been deleted?

You can reapply for deleted courses and programmes, if they are open for late application. How you reapply depends on why the course or programme was deleted, please see the link below for more information.

How to reapply, on universityadmissions.se

We offer several bachelors' and masters' programmes, leading to bachelors' degrees in mathematics, mathematical statistics or computer science, and masters' degrees in mathematics, mathematical statistics or actuarial mathematics.

Information about our bachelors' programmes and the Master's Programme in Actuarial Mathematics on the Swedish page

Most courses can also be taken as separate courses, including some courses from the later part of our bachelor's programmes that are given in English. If you wish to take a degree with separate courses you must make sure that you fulfil the degree requirements.

Master's programme in Mathematics

A joint initiative by the Departments of Mathematics at Stockholm University and the Royal Institute of Technology (KTH), this programme provides a strong background in the mathematical sciences, in preparation for PhD studies in mathematics or related subjects, or for research and development in the industry and business sectors.

Master's programme in Mathematical Statistics and Machine Learning

Mathematical statistics is considered one of the most important tools in applied mathematics and our MSc programme offers you a broad platform, with courses in classical mathematical statistics and more recent courses in statistical learning, and opportunities to specialise and form a unique profile.

Overview of our courses

Here is an overview of our courses in English and when they are normally offered. Many of these are part of one or more of our programmes but they are usually also available as separate courses.

PhD studies

PhD studies, or a doctoral education, is the highest level you can study at university. A completed doctoral education leads to a doctoral degree, so called PhD. As a PhD student, you are trained in problem solving, critical thinking, and using the scientific method. You will also learn to both work independently and to collaborate with other researchers.

Degree projects

In both a bachelor's degree and a master's degree there is a mandatory degree project (or independent project) included. You apply for degree projects through Universityadmissions.se, like other courses.

Distance courses and summer courses

Some first cycle courses are also given as distance courses, often with online resources like recorded lectures. Note that even for distance courses, exams may take place on campus.

We usually offer some distance courses even during the summer, though some of these are in Swedish. In particular, the two specific courses required for eligibility to the Master's Programme in Mathematics are often given (in English) during the summer.

You can find distance courses and summer courses below by filtering by study form or semester.
