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.
