Apply to WMU

All candidates must complete the University’s Application for Admission form. Applications can be submitted at any time; there are no cut-off dates.

Certified copies of transcripts and certificates (including the results of an acceptable test of English language) supporting the qualifications listed on the form must be attached. The original, signed forms should be sent by email to MSc@wmu.se; applications cannot be finalised unless all parts of the form are completed and all certificates supplied. Applications for admission should not be submitted through UNDP or IMO, which play no part in the application/admission process.

Applicants who meet the minimum entrance requirements are reviewed by the Admissions Board. Only the best candidates each year will be approved and offered a place (pending financing) at WMU.

If an applicant requests advanced standing to enter the accelerated MSc program, the transcripts will be carefully assessed to ensure that the essential criteria are met. An applicant who is considered for the accelerated program, but not accepted, is automatically then considered for the 14-month standard program. The Registry will notify you of the Admissions Board’s decision as soon as possible. The process may take longer at certain times of the year.

When an academically cleared candidate has secured financing, enrollment can be finalised. At this point, the University will send each candidate a medical report form, which must be returned to the University, along with a formal declaration that the candidate accepts the conditions of his/her enrollment.

Students are enrolled within an annual intake limit, with an equitable world-wide distribution of available places maintained.
