Read your Pre-Arrival Guide

All admitted students are sent a pre-arrival guide before the start of the semester. These guides provide detailed information to help you prepare for your stay in Lund and the answers to most of the questions we receive from students.

Important documents to bring

You need to bring your admission results (the Notification of Selection Results, available as a PDF from your universityadmissions.se account).
If you are an exchange student, bring your Letter of Acceptance (sent to you by your coordinator at Lund University).

You will need your document (either the admission results or letter of acceptance) on Arrival Day, when you check-in, and when taking care of various other practical matters throughout the semester – both at the University and at other agencies and services in Sweden.

If you were conditionally admitted to a Master's programme while still finalising your Bachelor's degree, remember to submit your final transcripts and diploma as soon as you receive them, and bring the documents with you to Sweden as well.
