Applicants with foreign grades
Applicants with foreign grades apply via an independent quota called "frikvot" to the Admissions Board in Stockholm, "Gymnasieantagningen" no later than 17th May. To be tested in the independent quota or "frikvot", applicants first apply to the schools and programmes of their choice via Gymnasieantagningen after receiving log in details from a Career Guidance Counsellor or from Gymnasieantagningen.

The validation process is then made by The City of Stockholm, (Stockholm Stad) who converts the foreign grades to equate to the Swedish system. If you have any further questions regarding the validation process, please contact Gymnasieenheten at Stockholm stad.
