Congratulations on your place at SLU and on the Forest and Landscape Bachelor’s programme! We look forward to meeting you here in Alnarp this autumn.

The autumn semester 2024 begins with roll call and study information.

Date: Monday September 2

Time and place: On the pages for new students, you will find information about the study start and when the roll call for your programme begins.

On these pages, you will also find all the information you need as a new student at SLU, including information about the orientation days. The orientation days are not mandatory but we recommend that you attend them. They take place at the end of August, before the semester starts, and provide essential and useful information about your stay in Sweden and your studies at SLU.

Your first course will be Trees, structure and function. On the course page, you will find a timetable for your classes and other course-related information. Timetables and reading lists will be published at least four weeks before the course starts.

We are excited to meeting you and explore the forested landscape together these coming years! By merging forestry science and landscape architecture, you will get an unique competence and be able to deal with questions related to the forest and its impact on our society from many different perspectives.

Once again, welcome to SLU!

Continued studies – apply to a Master’s programme

Are you interested in continuing your studies and apply to a Master’s programme? Great! Here you will find information on how to proceed.

Plan your studies

Find out what you need to meet the entry requirements and plan your studies so that you are able to complete the courses and get the Bachelor’s degree in time. This is especially important if you want to continue directly to a Master’s programme. Here the tool for study planning available under its own section on the programme page may be of some help on the way. Please note that you need to apply for your degree and that the processing time may vary.

Entry requirements

In order to be admitted you must fulfil the entry requirements, language requirements included.

To meet the general entry requirements for a Master’s programme, you must have been awarded a Bachelor's degree (equivalent to a Swedish kandidatexamen) from an internationally recognised university. The specific entry requirements may vary between different programmes.

The majority of the Master’s programmes at SLU are conducted in English and require the equivalent of the Swedish upper secondary course English 6. As a student in the Forest and Landscape programme you have already shown that you meet the English requirements.

Conditional entry requirements

You can be admitted conditionally or placed on a waiting list conditionally to a programme if you at the time of application do not fulfil the entry requirements, but will be in a position to fulfil the requirements by the time the programme starts. The conditions must be fulfilled no later than two weeks after the programme starts and you must contact the Admissions Office at SLU yourself to demonstrate that you fulfil the conditions.

Application for students who require a residence permit and have to pay fees

Non-EU/EEA students who have to pay application and tuitionfees and require a residence permit need to apply to the first round at Universityadmissions.se with application deadline January 15.
