Please read the information as it highlights the important dates and events to attend upon your arrival.
Roll call and programme start
A roll-call will take place on 21 August 13.15-15.00 on Campus Valla, Tema Building, room Temcas. Participation in the roll call is mandatory. You must attend in person - on campus - to confirm your place on the programme. If failing to attend, you will lose your place. After the roll call, there will be an information session where you will meet the staff and you will be given an overview of the programme. Thereafter, you will have the possibility of joining a campus walk to introduce you to the facilities on our campus.
Conditionally admitted students
If you are conditionally admitted you must upload your degree certificate and transcript of your last semester(s) both in original language and with an English translation to your Universityadmissions account as soon as possible.
Preparing for your first semester
The first course, “Critical Perspectives on Sustainable Development”, starts on 23 August. It explores the idea of sustainable development from different angles and involves several teachers from various disciplines. We will send you more specific information and a list of literature for the first course in June.
It is important to note that studies at master’s level are demanding. We take education very seriously and our ambition is that your time with us will be as fruitful as possible. From our experience, we know that this does not prevent you from enjoying your stay in Sweden and the exciting student life in Linköping. Our teachers are engaged in the courses and work closely with the students to continuously improve the quality of the education. You can follow our activities and news via our website (Tema M) or via our Twitter account @LiU_EnvChange.
If you want to decline your offer
While we really want all of our admitted students to choose Linköping University, it can happen that you decide to pursue your education elsewhere. If this is the case it is very important that you let us know you won’t be attending the programme as soon as possible, by declining your offer at universityadmissions.se. You do this by logging into your account and following the instructions under the 'Applications' tab. This might free up your place to someone on the waiting list.
Residing in Sweden
Students who are not citizens from Sweden or the EU/EEA are required to pay their tuition fees by 15 May 2023 to commence studies at LiU. This is also the recommended deadline for applying for a resident permit from the Swedish Migration Agency (Migrationsverket). Until you are sure you can reside and study in Sweden, we advise students not to book any non-refundable travel.
Questions?
LiU will be sending out an email series to all students admitted to an international programme at LiU in the lead up to the autumn semester with details about accommodation, tuition fees, scholarships, residence permits and other important steps to consider if you are an international student. The Admitted students page is also a hub of information. Swedish students may find Antagen more relevant.
We welcome you again to our exciting intellectual environment and challenging programme. You will receive more information at a later stage, but do not hesitate to contact the programme director Sepehr Shakeri Yekta with any questions you may have about the contents of the programme. For information on practical matters, please contact LiU's International Office.
We are looking forward to meeting you in August!
