  4. Check the selection results on the portal, published 1 April 2027.
  5. Accept the offer on the portal and, if a fee paying student, pay the first tuition installment through Chalmers' own pay portal before the enrollment deadline.
  6. Apply for a Swedish residence permit for studies through Migrationsverket once tuition is paid or a scholarship is confirmed.

English test waiver

Chalmers follows the national English 6 standard: applicants who completed upper secondary or prior higher education taught in English, including the Swedish gymnasium course English 6, are generally exempt from an English test, assessed by universityadmissions.se for every applicant.
