- provide the official transcripts for all completed semesters to date
- provide documentation that you meet the English language proficiency requirement
- If admitted, you must be
prepared to show the awarded Bachelor's degree (complete transcripts and
diploma) during your studies at Chalmers. Without it you cannot apply for or have your Master's degree awarded from Chalmers.

Restrictions
Degrees which are constructed on one another cannot consist the same course
Applicants who fulfill the general entry requirements for second
cycle (master’s level) programmes and eventually specific entry
requirements can be admitted to a master’s programme. Applicants cannot
be evaluated as unqualified in the qualifying academic merits which
include courses from the programme’s plan in those programmes that they
have applied for, if that occurs.
Courses included in an earned first cycle degree (bachelor’s level)
or professional qualification of at least 180 cr. (180hp) or the
equivalent foreign qualification that are prerequisites for master’s
qualifications may not be included in the higher qualifications. This
also applies to prerequisite courses for master’s programmes, regardless
of whether they are included in the underlying qualification. *
