from an internationally recognized university, according to the official guidelines by the Swedish Council for Higher Education published at universityadmissions.se
- If an applicant is a holder of a Master's degree, that may be as to fulfil specific (course) requirements, it never replaces the Bachelor's degree requirement.
- The master’s programme, Entrepreneurship and Business Design does admit applicants with bachelor’s degrees from other fields.

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. *
*) Local Qualifications Framework for Chalmers University of
Technology - first and second cycle qualifications.
Restrictions for Citizens from the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (North Korea)
Chalmers cannot admit applicants with citizenship of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea only to any programme or course, due to the Council Regulation (EU) 2017/1509 of 30 August 2017 concerning restrictive measures against the Democratic People's Republic of Korea and repealing Regulation (EC) 329/2007.
Applicants with double citizenships of which one is of Democratic People's Republic of Korea and the other of another country, the citizenship of the other country has precedence in this respect.
