Roadmap to Sweden 2022 – The perfect guide for those thinking of moving to Sweden to study next year.

On you mark

Sending in your applications, selecting your school and making sure you meet the requirement can be very daunting, so the first thing to do is to make a list of the possible courses you would like to apply for, check their requirements and then their specific requirements, make a list of the other specified documents that would accompany your application and if you’re a student from Nigeria, start making moves to apply for your Transcript.

Get Set? Go!

The university application period opened October 18th 2021 and will run for 3 months long which generally feels like a long time but if you let time to pass by without doing anything concrete you would see that you’re technically out of time and then one begins to feel the pressure. For me when I applied, I did every thing on time, I studied all the instructions, combed through every thing and made sure I submitted my application on time thereby letting go of the pressure that comes with submitting late. Leaving things to the last minute is never a good option and even the English proverbs says ‘We make hays when the sun shines”. Therefore, start working on the required documents for the programs you will be applying to.

Tick Tock!

The application for university admissions for both Bachelors and Masters students already opened on the 18th of October. If you haven’t started working on your application yet – start now. Find below the guide to the university admissions deadlines.

So, between now and when the application closes, you will need to:-

1. Choose your programmes.
2. Check that you meet the eligibility requirements for the programmes you want to apply to.
3. Rank them according to level of priority and importance.
4. Start preparing the required documents.

Swedish Institute Scholarship

The call for applications for the SI scholarship is already out, together with the list of eligible programmes and templates of required documents and there’s no better time than now to start working on the SI document. The timeline for the SI scholarship is as below.
10 February 2022 – SI Scholarship applications open
28 February 2022 – SI scholarship applications close

Since the SI scholarship is so competitive, it is advisable to be on the look-out for other scholarships offered by the university you have applied too and just maybe you will be lucky like me to be one of the recipient.
