If, for example, you want to start another programme and have already completed courses included in the new programme, or if you have equivalent knowledge, you can apply for admission to a later part of a programme.

If you cannot log in, you can instead download the form and send it to programstod@bth.se.

You must submit the following documents  with your application for admission to a later part of a programme as they form the basis for the decision:

–  certified Ladok excerpt, or course certificate.
syllabus and literature list for each course.

– if you apply for credit of international studies, you should also attach a description of the foreign education system.

In order for BTH to be able to determine whether you are liable to tuition fee or not, you must also attach a Personal certificate for studies (ordered through the Swedish Tax Agency). If you are a student at BTH, you do not need to attach a personal certificate for studies.

Decisions on admission to a later part of programs are based on the possibility of crediting previous studies as well as available resources for the education in question.

The following programmes do not admit to later part of the programme: Bachelor of Nursing Science and Master’s Programme in Strategic Leadership towards Sustainability.
