The Lund University acceptance rate of 58% makes it fairly selective at granting admissions, however, the Chalmers University of Technology acceptance range typically ranges between 80-90%, making it much more easier to secure admissions at.

Students interested in admissions to either institute are required to maintain solid academic scores & a professional resume highlighting other skills, as both Lund & Copenhagen have shown a tendency to be picky to varying extents & priortising highly qualified candidates.

With a 58% acceptance rate, Lund University is moderately tough to get into. The university follows a slightly stringent approach while selecting candidates for its programs. Students must fulfill the basic eligibility criteria including proof of upper secondary education for UG, and a bachelor's degree from an internationally recognised university for PG. Students must perform extremely well in academics, and participate in extracurricular activities, volunteer work, and gain relevant work experience to increase their selection probability.

While Lund University does not have a specific student association for Indian students, it does have the East Asia Student Association

The Student Association (EASA) acts as a platform to bring together students from East and Southeast Asia, makes them feel welcome and provides them the ideal environment to study with dedicated student events and programmes over the academic year. 

The Student Association has a dedicated social media group on Facebook, that prospective students can use to get in touch with the current students, and understand student life at Lund University and in Sweden.

International students can work a maximum of 20 hours per week in Sweden, during the studies and full-time during vacations, as is generally the norm for most European countries. For students pursuing a course with a duration of more than 3 months, a residence permit is mandatory to work in Sweden. 

Students must ensure that their work does not interfere with their studies. 

Students found crossing the maximum work hour limits would be detained and may get their Sweden student visa, revoked.
