Eligibility Criteria

At SIPAD VIU, we uphold a set of eligibility criteria designed to ensure that our student community is well-prepared to engage with our rigorous academic programs. These criteria are set to maintain the high standards of education that ​​SIPAD VIU is committed to providing.

General Eligibility Criteria:

  • Educational Background: For Bachelor's Programs: Applicants must have successfully completed their high school or equivalent, as recognized by the Swedish educational authorities.

  • For Master's Programs: Applicants should hold a Bachelor's degree or its equivalent in a relevant field from a recognized institution.

  • Academic Performance: A minimum Grade Point Average (GPA) or its equivalent, as specified for each program. This ensures that the applicant has demonstrated consistent academic performance in their previous studies.

  • Language Proficiency: Since our courses are conducted in English, non-native English speakers must demonstrate proficiency in the language. This can be through recognized tests like IELTS, TOEFL, or any equivalent examination. Specific score requirements will be detailed for each program.

  • Technical Competency: Given that ​​SIPAD VIU's programs are delivered online, applicants should possess basic computer literacy skills and have regular access to a computer and a reliable internet connection.

  • Relevant Experience (for certain advanced programs): Some of our specialized Master's programs or advanced courses might require applicants to have relevant work experience or prior knowledge in the field. This ensures that students can engage deeply with the curriculum and contribute meaningfully to discussions and projects.

  • Personal Statement: While not a strict "eligibility" criterion, the personal statement is a crucial component of the application. It should reflect the applicant's genuine interest in the chosen field, their aspirations, and reasons for choosing ​​SIPAD VIU.

  • Recommendation Letters: At least two recommendation letters from educators or professionals familiar with the applicant's academic or professional capabilities. These letters should vouch for the applicant's potential to succeed in the chosen program.

It's important to note that meeting the eligibility criteria does not guarantee admission. The admissions process at SIPAD VIU is holistic, and we consider various factors, including the overall quality of the application, alignment with the university's values, and the potential contribution to the ​SIPAD VIU community.

Applicants who do not meet certain criteria but demonstrate exceptional potential or have significant achievements may be considered on a case-by-case basis. We encourage all interested candidates to apply and let their unique stories shine through their applications.
