Differential Geometry

The central objects in modern differential geometry are differentiable manifolds. Ideas and methods from differential geometry are fundamental in modern physical theories.

Information for admitted students spring 2025

Congratulations! You have been admitted at Stockholm University and we hope that you will enjoy your studies with us.

In order to ensure that your studies begin as smoothly as possible we have compiled a short checklist for the beginning of the semester.

Follow the instructions on whether you have to reply to your offer or not.

Checklist for admitted students

  1. Activate your university account

    The first step in being able to register and gain access to all the university's IT services.

  2. Register at your department

    Registration can be done in different ways. Read the instructions from your department below.

  3. Read all the information on this page

    Here you will find what you need to know before your course or programme starts.

IMPORTANT

Your seat may be withdrawn if you do not register according to the instructions provided by your department.

Information from the department - courses

Here you can find information about online registration times, our learning platform, and what it means if you are conditionally admitted or placed on a reserve list.

First: Reply to your offer!

If you are offered a place or reserve place in the first notification of selection results, you must reply to it via Universityadmissions.se by 16 December to keep your place! If you have forgotten to do so you may be able to reaplpy via Universityadmissions.se (you can only do so if late application is open).

Registration in Ladok

Once you are admitted to a course you must register online via student.ladok.se to keep your place. Online registration opens 7 January, and closes at different times for different courses.

Please note that if you have a Swedish personal ID number, you can no longer log in to Ladok using your university account unless you first increase the assurance level

  • Mathematics I (only given in Swedish): last day for registration is 15 January.
  • Courses given and/or examined at KTH, so courses with the following course codes: BE7012, MM7051: last day for registration is 20 January. Register earlier if you can to get your KTH-account earlier.
  • Other courses starting in January: last day for registration is 9 February.
  • Other courses starting in March: last day for registration is 13 April.

You cannot register online for degree project courses in mathematics, we will register you for these when your project plan has been approved.

Learning platform

Our course pages can be found at kurser.math.su.se.

On most of the course pages you can "self enrol", but doing this does not mean that you are registered for the course! It only gives you access to the course page. You always have to register in Ladok separately, see above about registration.

Conditionally admitted

It is quite common that a student at the time of application has not finished all courses that are given as special eligibility requirements for the course or programme the student has applied for. This will result in the admission status "Conditionally admitted".

We will go through the conditions just before the courses start. As long as the condition remains you cannot register for the course in Ladok. If the condition is still in place by the time the course starts, and you haven't received any notification about whether or not you'll be allowed to take the course or programme you have applied for, contact our study advisors. If the course is one where online registration closes early, contact us before it closes.

You can also be conditionally admitted because you need to pay a tuition fee. You can find more information on tuition fees here:

Payment and repayment of tuition fee

Placed on reserve list

If you have a reserve place for a course, we may be able to offer you a spot in which case we will contact you around the start of the semester. If you have a conditional reserve place and are offered a place on the course, you also need to fulfil the condition(s) before you can take your place on the course.
