A bachelor’s degree in Economics & Public Policy is an undergraduate route, so it is the starting point for students who want a first university qualification rather than a diploma or a master’s. In this group, all three options are public universities, so the main decision is less about ownership and more about which study environment fits your plans.

The choices differ in location: Göteborg University is in a large city, while Gotland University College and Kalmar University College are in smaller places. For an international applicant, that can affect daily living, transport, and the pace of study, so it is worth weighing city size against the type of student life you want.

Before applying, confirm tuition fees, entry requirements, language of instruction, and the exact campus or study location with the university. You should also check how the programme is structured, since this degree level can differ in course content and in how closely it connects economics with public policy.
