New student

Malmö University sends out welcome emails to all newly admitted students. The email contains important information, so please read it carefully. The emails are sent to the address you registered at universityadmissions.se. Please check all your inboxes, including spam folders, if you cannot find the emails.

Step 1. Order your computer identity

With your computer identity (student account), you get access to Ladok for students, where you can register for courses and see your study results. You'll be using your computer identity during your entire time as a student to log in to computers and web platforms, such as the learning platform, Canvas.

Order your computer identity through IDS

Step 2. Upgrade your computer identity (for those who have a Swedish personal identity number)

When you have ordered your computer identity, you must upgrade its assurance level to be able to log in and register online in Ladok. If you have just ordered your computer identity, please wait one hour before doing this upgrade.

Please note that only students with a Swedish personal identity number must upgrade the assurance level of their computer identity.

Upgrade your computer identity (manual)

If you already have a computer identity

If you already have a computer identity from Malmö University, you cannot get a new one. However, you must still upgrade your computer identity to be able to access Ladok for students.

Do you need help?

Contact the IT support if you have any questions, or if you need help with ordering or upgrading your computer identity.

IT-support for students

To keep your place on the course/programme, please make sure to register in time. The welcome email from your faculty/department will specify the time frame for when you can register for your education. You can also find this information in Ladok for students.

You need to be registered to participate in the programme or course and to apply for student finance.

How to register

• For most education, including distance studies, you can register online through Ladok for students.
• You will need a computer identity (student account) in order to register. If you have a Swedish personal identity number, make sure you upgrade the assurance level of your computer identity before registering. 
• Choose 'Access through your institution' when you register through Ladok for students. You can see what courses you have registered for under 'Current courses'.
• If you are admitted to an education where online registration is not applied, you will find information about how and when to register for your studies in the welcome email from your faculty/department.

Register for your studies via Ladok (usually a week prior to the semester start)

Conditionally admitted applicants

If you have been conditionally admitted, you cannot register online. Instead, contact the Student Administration by using our web form. Please include the name of your course or programme.

You can find information about the start date for your programme or course in the welcome email from your faculty/department.

The welcome emails are sent to the address you registered at universityadmissions.se. Please check all your inboxes, including spam folders, if you cannot find the emails.

As a student at Malmö University, you will need a multicard to access the buildings, borrow material from the library, and to print, copy and scan documents. 

Remember to order your multicard right away (you will need your computer identity), since delivery might take 14 days.
