      Am I need only to Transcript it in official way, with notarius and everything in legal way? Or it need to be sent to the ministry of education and legalize the diploma in english way?

    Huwag kalimutan ang iyong bota Jed. Query: I have scoured through the courses that I am interested in and can not find a space where they speak about recognition of prior learning. Does this mean I have to apply for a bachelors instead of a masters? I have been working in my sector for 7 years with a bachelors degree. I want to further my studies. How can I go about this? I tried contacting admission.se the go to contact page does not work on the site. HELP!!

      Hi Rudy!
      Initially, I wasn’t qualified as well since I only had a 4-year bachelor's from the PH. I got in touch with the Swedish universities I was interested in applying to and some of them had an additional step called “recognition of prior learning” which is your way of proving that you are eligible to study in Sweden even if you don’t meet some requirements. As far as I know, Malmö University, KTH, Stockholm University, and Linneaus University are the schools that offer this (the information on how to apply through RPL can be found on their websites, not on Universityadmissions.se), but other universities may offer it as well. I highly suggest getting in touch with the university you’re interested in and explaining your situation! and yes! nakabili an ako ng bota! 😁 // Jed

    • @StudyinSwedenOfficial
      @StudyinSwedenOfficial  2 роки тому +1

      Hello Farah!
      When applying for master's studies, your eligibility and merit rating will be based on your bachelor's degree, so make sure that you upload that. Mentioning that you have a master's degree could be a positive point when you include it in your CV for SI Scholarship application, or if any the university you are applying to asks for additional documents as well (CV, motivation letter etc.)
      Hope this helps! // Jed

    What the heck is this?
    Basically you can sum up '5 mistakes' in one and tell people to get their shit done properly. If you can't even provide your own personal documents the way they are required you shouldn't go abroad at all.
