Deadlines

  1. 15 April 2027

    Second round closes, and rankings lock
    Hard deadline
    Details

    The round University Admissions tells a May 2027 IB candidate to use. Many English-taught programmes are no longer open in it, so check your programme is before you plan on it.

    Also the final ranking day: the order you put your choices in on this date is the order that is used. The fee-exemption date (23 April), the document date (21 June) and the deadline for your IB results (5 July) are entries of their own.

  2. 23 April 2027

    Second round — document your EU/EEA citizenship (fee exemption)
    Hard deadline
    Details

    Eight days after the application deadline. An application whose fee exemption is not documented is not processed.

    Eight days after you apply, and easy to miss because it lands after the part that feels like the deadline. As an EU/EEA citizen you are exempt from the application fee and from tuition, but you must document that exemption by this date; non-EU/EEA applicants pay the fee by the same date. An application whose exemption is not documented is not processed.

  3. 21 June 2027

    Second round supporting documents
    Hard deadline
    Details

    Everything except the IB results themselves, which have until 5 July.

    The general document deadline for the second round. It is not the date for your IB results: University Admissions gives IB students completing their studies this spring until 5 July 2027 for that (next entry). Anything else you need - an ID copy, other transcripts - goes in by 21 June, and University Admissions asks you to upload documents you already have with the application.

    University Admissions needs your IB results (recipient code UHR)
    Hard deadline
    Details

    University Admissions gives IB/EB students completing their studies this spring until 5 July. Your coordinator releases your results through the IB Result Service. IB results day is expected just after this date, so ask University Admissions now how a late result is handled.

    Published on the autumn 2027 key-dates page: applicants completing an IB/EB programme this spring "have until 5 July to submit documentation of your completed upper secondary studies". For a May 2027 Diploma that means your coordinator releasing your results to recipient code "UHR" through the IB Result Service. IB results day is expected just after this date, so ask University Admissions now how a late result is handled.

  6. 6 July 2027*

    IB results released
    Details

    After every first-round date. In the second round University Admissions wants your IB results by 5 July, so ask them how a late result is handled; second-round results come on 9 July.

  7. 9 July 2027

    Second round results published
    Details

    The first notification of selection results for the round a May 2027 IB candidate actually uses. What you must do next has its own entry, one week later, and it is the date on this page most worth putting in a calendar now.

  8. 16 July 2027

    Reply to your second-round offer
    Hard deadline
    Details

    You have seven days from the 9 July notification to reply, and a place you do not reply to is a place you lose — including a place you have been offered while still waiting on a higher choice. Set this one before you apply, not after you are offered.

Worth knowing

LTU says final-year EU/EEA students must apply in the April round, but no LTU programme has an April 2027 round yet: as a May 2027 IB candidate you cannot apply…

All 3 notes
  • LTU says final-year EU/EEA students must apply in the April round, but no LTU programme has an April 2027 round yet: as a May 2027 IB candidate you cannot apply yet.
  • In 2026 the games, graphics and mineral programmes were also open in the April round with 10 to 20 places, so an April 2027 round may still be added.
  • LTU's other Music tracks (jazz, rock, session musician, production and songwriting) are taught in Swedish.
