General document requirements
To complete your admissions application, you must provide the following documentation:
1. Record of completed upper secondary (high school) education
For your eligibility for courses and programmes at the bachelor’s level to be determined – and for you to compete with other applicants for available places in courses and programmes – you must submit your upper secondary qualifications.
This completed education must qualify you for higher education studies in the country you received it.
2. Identification document
To speed up the processing of your application, we require a copy of the page in your passport with your personal data and photograph, or a similar identification document.
What about university records?
Your university qualifications cannot be considered instead of your upper secondary (high school) qualifications. However, the results from your previous university studies may help you meet the specific entry requirements for a course or programme. We therefore recommend that you submit documentation of your university studies.
Translation of documents not required
As documents from this country are normally issued in English, you don’t need to provide translations.
Special document instructions
If you graduated recently and have not yet received the official certificates issued by Uganda National Examinations Board (UNEB), please do the following:
- upload your Result Slips
- contact UNEB and ask them to send a verification letter confirming your results.
The verification letter should be sent directly from the UNEB in a sealed envelope to University Admissions in Sweden. The address they should send your verification to is:
Swedish Council for Higher Education
Attn: Verifications
Box 4030
SE-171 04 Solna
Sweden
UNEB may also send the certificate from an official e-mail address to verifications@uhr.se. We will unfortunately not be able to answer any questions sent to this address from other senders than UNEB.

For your documents to be accepted:
- the name and birthdate provided must be the same on all your documents (ID, transcripts, degree certificate, etc.)

If the names are different, you must provide us with documentation (for example, a marriage certificate if you’ve been married) as to why they don’t match.
If the birthdate on any of your documents is different from your passport, the difference must be explained with official documentation.
This documentation must be either issued in English or Swedish or, if issued in another language, officially translated to Swedish or English.
