The number of applicants per place continues to be high at Linnaeus University

When the admission closed for international applicants on January 15, Linnaeus University was one of the winners.

The number of international applicants to programmes at second-cycle level at Linnaeus University increased with 37 percent, while at the same time the rest of the country saw a 3 percent decrease. Also, the number of applicants to programmes at first-cycle level and single-subject courses increased with 20 percent.

Marketing is the most attractive. The most popular programmes at both first- and second-cycle level are found within this subject.

"It feels great that so many international students choose Linnaeus University. The number of first-choice applicants has also increased, which is even more satisfactory", says Magnus Källström, section manager for student recruitment.

Linnaeus University has 2,522 first-choice applicants to programmes at second-cycle level. An increase with 33 percent. And 2,832 first-choice applicants to programmes at first-cycle level and single-subject courses, which is an increase with 23 percent.

"Evidently we offer an attractive range of courses and programmes. We have also had particular focus on certain countries and participated at education fairs on location. It feels great to see that these efforts are paying off", says Magnus Källström.
