Please note: This application is for international students (EU and non-EU) only, including international students currently studying at JU.

STEP 1 Find a Programme

STEP 2 Check Eligibility


STEP 3 Apply online though the JU Direct Application

  • JU Direct Application: 15 October - 2 May.
  • Deadline to receive all supporting documents: 15 May


JU Direct Application

We recommend using the JU Direct Application, as we are able to process applications faster. We also recommend applying as early as possible due to the fact that programmes may fill up and close before the deadline, and processing time for residence permit applications (non-EU applicants) can be delayed.

Note: 

  • If you have already applied through universityadmissions.se, the Swedish central admission (open October 15- January 15), please do not place an additional application for the same programme through the JU Direct Application. One application is sufficient.
  • If you submit your application through The JU Direct Application, you must always upload your documents through our system.
  • Only one application per applicant will be processed. If you need to make changes to your application, please e-mail admissions.office@ju.se. Include your application id number and what should be changed.

Special Selection

Jönköping International Business School (JIBS) reserves a limited number of places within some bachelor programmes for applicants who are considered particularly suited to the education and JIBS’ profile. Read more.

STEP 6 Offer of Acceptance and what to do next

  • If admitted, an offer will be sent via e-mail. The applicant must accept the offer through the link in the e-mail, in order to receive the Letter of Acceptance (also via e-mail) as well as further instructions.
  • If you are required to pay tuition fees (who is required to pay? Opens in new window.), the invoice of the first instalment equivalent to one semester tuition fee, will be available a few days after you have received the Letter of Acceptance. Please note that the invoice should be paid within 3-5 weeks. Your payment needs to reach us by the due date indicated on the invoice. Note: as we approach the application deadline of May 2, admitted students will have less than 5 weeks to pay the fee. This is due to the fact that the processing of an application for residence permit can take up to 3-5 months after the payment has been confirmed by Jönköping University. See the information about residence permit for study.
