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.

Read more in BTH’s study administrative rules.

If something unexpected has happened that prevents you from starting your education, such as illness or other special reasons, you can apply for a deferment of your studies. Reasons for deferment must be clearly stated and confirmed with a certificate (eg. medical statement)

If you cannot log in, you can instead download the form and send it to admissions@bth.se. Please note if you are required to pay tuition fees you must pay the first installment of tuition in order for your application to be assessed.

Read more about special reasons for deferment in BTH’s study administrative rules.

If the application is approved, you will be given priority the next time you apply. Remember that you must apply for the education again even if you have been granted a deferment of your studies.

If you temporarily wish to leave from studies, but still intend to complete your education, you can apply for Leave from studies.

Read more about special reasons for leave from studies in BTH’s study administrative rules.

When you return to your studies on the programme from which you were approved leave, you should contact the programme manager. You have the right to resume your studies only if the programme is being offered in the semester in question.

NB! BTH cannot guarantee that the courses you missed during your leave will be offered again.

If you are registered and have started a programme but do not intend to complete it, you can withdraw from studies. If you withdraw from studies, it means that you must reapply to be admitted again via Universityadmissions.se if you wish to resume your studies.

Use Ladok for students to notify us that you will not complete your studies on a course.

Use the form Termination of studies to notify us that you will not complete your studies on a programme.

You can apply for crediting of studies if you have previously completed a whole course or part of a course that you want to transfer to your current studies. This applies both to studies in Sweden and abroad.

Read more in BTH’s Study administrative rules and Credit transfer regulations.

Students who are admitted and registered at BTH may apply for validation to credit their previous learning.

Validation is an in-depth assessment and recognition of knowledge that a student has acquired through such as education or professional experience.

In the application for validation for credit transfer, the student must describe his/her knowledge in relation to the learning objectives in the specific course he/she wishes to be credited.

Please read the information about Validation for crediting of prior learning before you apply.

Apply for Validation for crediting of prior learning here.

You can re-register on a course yourself in Ladok for students, without applying and with no waiting time. Please note that if you are a paying student, you cannot re-register in Ladok for Students. You need to apply for re-registration (see below how to apply).

If you can not find an option to re-register, you will have to apply for re-registration using the form Course registration. Please note that the application for re-registration is open about three weeks before the semester begins.

A re-registration is needed if you have not completed a course at the first instance. If the course is offered again at a later instance, you have the option to register on that instance in order to complete the course.

Re-registration for a course is granted on condition that the course is still offered and that there are seats available. If your application is approved, you will be automatically registered for the course.

Read more in BTH’s study administrative rules.

NB: You will get access to the course in Canvas automatically. If there is a problem with Canvas, please contact the course coordinator that can add you manually to the course place.

If you previously have been unqualified to attend a course but you now meet the prerequisites, you can apply for Registration on a course. However, you must check for yourself when the course is given next time. You can get help through the Programme overview.

Students who for some reason are unable to complete their regular programme, have the opportunity to apply for an Adapted programme syllabus (Anpassad utbildningsplan – AUP) with the aim of obtaining the degree. For more information you can read the Guidelines för adapted programme syllabuses.

Please read the information on the application forms thoroughly. If you have questions please contact examen@bth.se
