Nearly 79,000 prospective students in Sweden received their university admission results on Thursday.

The most sought-after programs continue to be classics like medicine and law.

Karolinska Institute's medical program leads as the most popular choice, followed by the economics program at the Stockholm School of Economics.

Law programs at Lund, Stockholm, and Gothenburg universities round out the top five.

Robin Johansson from the Swedish Council for Higher Education notes this trend, citing tradition, interest, status, and economic factors as potential reasons.

Interestingly, there's a growing interest in vocational programs, with occupational therapy and physiotherapy seeing the largest increases in applications, likely due to promising job market prospects.
