Application and admission
Where do I apply?
At SKH we use two different systems for the admission process. This is because work samples are included in the application for many of our programmes and courses. To see what applies to the particular programme or course you are interested in, read the information on the education page. The admission process may differ between different programmes and courses.
universityadmission.se – We are connected to universityadmission.se. This means that you submit an application for the program or course you want to apply for via their website.
Varbi – We use Varbi to collect work samples for the admission process for most of our programs and courses. Read more on the specific education page to see what applies to the particular program or course you are interested in. A link to the Varbi application page can also be found on the education page.
When should I apply?
Since our programmes and courses are mainly artistic, we have different application periods than most universities and colleges.
