You will be registered for your first course and thus enrolled in the Master's Programme at the mandatory introductory meeting in August. However, for the subsequent courses within the programme, online self-registration is applied. This means that you as a student are responsible for registering for the course you have been admitted to via Ladok. Online registration opens one week before the start of the course and closes on the day the course starts. It is very important that you register in time.

Ladok is a student record system where you can, among other things, register for a course or see your study results.
