Can you tell me the steps for sending my IELTS scores to Swedish universities?
Sweden uses a centralised admission system, so you do not send IELTS scores to each university. Upload a scanned copy of your IELTS Test Report Form to your Universityadmissions.se account. Your score is checked online using your TRF number, and hard copies are not needed unless asked.
Sweden's centralised admission system makes this simple, since you do not send scores to individual universities. You handle it through one online account.
Steps to Submit Your IELTS Score
| Step | What to do |
|---|---|
| Create account | Use your Universityadmissions.se account |
| Upload | Upload a scanned copy of your IELTS Test Report Form (TRF) |
| Verification | Your score is checked online using your TRF number |
| Hard copies | Do not send them unless asked |
Score Validity
Make sure your IELTS test is not older than two years at the time of application, since expired scores can lead to rejection. Rules can change, so check the official Universityadmissions.se pages for the latest requirements.
My Advice
Check your test date before you apply. If your test is close to the two year mark, plan a retake early so that your score is valid when you submit your application.
