In Sweden, there is a wide range of international courses available at this level, but a limited number of study programmes. These courses and programmes are taught in English. Very basically, a student must have completed upper secondary studies in order to be qualified for study at this level. There are also English language requirements.
The next level is master’s, also knows as second cycle in the European Region. The term ‘graduate level’ can also be used.
