  Applicants are ranked by Swedish merit rating 10-22.5; the highest get the places. The cut-off is the lowest score that got a place, so it moves with each year's applicants.

• How applicants are picked
  For Autumn 2027, LiU selects using upper-secondary grades (67%) and the Swedish Scholastic Aptitude Test (33%). The programme page does not explain how Dutch VWO applicants are assigned between selection groups. UHR states that foreign upper-secondary qualifications are assessed in BI (and may enter BII if additional courses are needed for specific eligibility); the historical BI cutoff is therefore the relevant grade-group comparison for a directly eligible VWO applicant. A valid Swedish Scholastic Aptitude Test result is a separate optional route. i
