In addition to the documents supporting your basic and programme-specific eligibility, you must submit the document 'Applicant Summary and Statement of Purpose' (also referred to as a 'letter of intent') when you apply for this programme. Make sure to carefully consider our profile, follow the instructions stated, and use the template for the 'Applicant Summary and Statement of Purpose'.

Instructions for Application Summary and Statement of Purpose

Initially, you should state your name, application number/Date of birth, the country for your BSc/BA degree, the name of the University, the required credits (or study hours), and a clarification of your transcripts regarding courses in methods, statistics, and psychology. Please upload additional course description (syllabus) that you want to include along with your transcripts.

Then, you have the opportunity to provide more elaborate information about your academic reasons and interests by:

• Specifying the reasons for why you are applying for the Master’s programme in Psychology at Lund University
• Providing a draft research proposal

The statement of purpose is an important part of your application – it is your opportunity to show us who you are. We will consider carefully all your responses based on clarity, relevance and scientific content.

You will find more information in the template for the Application Summary and Statement of Purpose (PDF). Read the instructions, write your answers in the document, save the document, and upload the document to your application account on University Admissions.
