The number of applicants to the country's colleges and universities is at a record high. Figures from the Swedish Council for Higher Education (UHR) show an increase of 13%. The increase is greatest among younger age groups, those who have recently left upper secondary school.
These are encouraging figures that naturally also affect us at the School of Naprapathy. Last year, we had over 150 applicants for the Naprapathic Program, and this year we expect even more!

Here, the School of Naprapathy's admissions coordinator, Linda Ladenstedt, shares tips for applying to the Naprapathic Program. Learn what to keep in mind and how to increase your chances of being accepted!
Your application is based on your grade point average plus any merit points (points added to your grade to increase your chances of admission). If you lack formal qualifications, you can apply through the "prior learning" quota group.
