- How apply without having the academic merits needed to meet the entry requirements?
- Even if you don’t have the formal academic merits needed for a specific PROMPT course, your background may make it possible for you to be qualified for the course through validation.
Validation is “a process of a structured assessment, valuing, documentation and recognition of knowledge and competences that an individual has gained, irrespective of how they have been acquired”. (Government definition DS 2003:23)
This means an assessment of an individual’s knowledge and competence, regardless how, where or when they were acquired – in the formal education system or in some other way in Sweden or abroad, just recently or a long time ago.
If you think your knowledge and competences will qualify you for a PROMPT course, you must fill in the form “Blankett för bedömning av reell kompetens och undantag” see https://www.antagning.se/sv/Hur-du-anmaler-dig-och-haller-koll/ladda-upp-ratt-papper/Handlingar-for-reell-kompetens/ (For the corresponding form in English, click here), and upload your CV, with description of your professional background. Your CV must describe your knowledge and competences in relation to the entry requirements. If we need more information from you, we will contact you.

- When the last day to apply has passed, it is still possible to submit a late application to courses, but please note that this only applies for courses that are open for a late application.

- Once I get accepted for a course within PROMPT, what do I need to do next?
- You will receive a letter of admission with information regarding how to participate in a PROMPT course. It is important that you follow the instructions given in the letter of admission.
- What is a ‘Credit’ (‘hp’)?
- Credits (‘Högskolepoäng’ in Swedish) are a way to measure the length and scope of academic studies. 1.5 credits correspond to one week of full-time studies (40 hours).
A course of 7.5 credits corresponds to 200 hours of studies. PROMPT courses are normally run at a pace of 25%, which means that a course of 7.5 credits or 200 hours is run over a full semester.
