What is Later Stage of a Programme?

Application to later stage of a programme is possible if you have started a programme at Dalarna university or another university and wish to continue or complete your studies at Dalarna university. If you have discontinued your studies without having an approved leave from studies and wish to resume your studies in the programme, you need to apply for admission to later stage of programme. It is also possible to apply to later stage of a programme if you have previously taken freestanding courses and want to enroll in a programme.

How to apply

Programmes available for applications to later stage are published on this webpage. You apply for the programme you wish to be admitted to later stage of via the link under Application. Applications are made through universityadmissions.se and in accordance with the set dates for admission rounds.

Admission to a later stage of a programme is only possible between semesters, and only if there are places available. All programes will close for application after the application deadline.

The document is used by the programme director as a basis for the assessment of your application. If you are admitted to Later Stage of Programme, the document can also be used as a basis for an ISP (Individual Study Plan). The ISP is a compilation of what you need to study in order to be awarded a degree.
