    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.

    First round — supporting documents, and your proof of fee exemption
    Hard deadlineDiploma holders only
    Details

    Also the deadline to document EU/EEA/Swiss citizenship for fee exemption. Five months before IB results are published, which is the problem to solve early rather than in January.

    One day, three things. As an EU/EEA citizen you pay no application fee and no tuition, but you do not get the exemption automatically — you have to document your EU/EEA citizenship by this date, and University Admissions handles that on the same deadline it uses to collect the fee from everyone else. All supporting materials are due the same day.

Where it says so

Its IB recognition statement

Worth knowing

Lund says its international bachelor's programmes open in both rounds, so a May 2027 IB candidate applies in the national round, 15 March to 15 April 2027.

All 3 notes
  • Lund says its international bachelor's programmes open in both rounds, so a May 2027 IB candidate applies in the national round, 15 March to 15 April 2027.
  • In the national round 66% of places go on school grades and 34% on the Swedish aptitude test, so as an IB student you compete on your converted IB total.
  • International Business, Development Studies, Fine Arts and the two Malmö music programmes are on Lund's English list of ten, but their pages show no autumn 2027 intake yet.
