contents The paper deals with the second order regularity properties of the weak solutions $u\in W^{1,ϕ}(Ω, \real^n)$ } of systems of the form \begin{equation*}\label{equareg} -\dive A(x,\E u)=f, \end{equation*} in a bounded domain $Ω\subset\R^n$, $n>2$, where the operator $ A(x,P)$ is Lipschitz continuous with respect to the $x$-variable and satisfies growth conditions with respect to the second variable expressed through a Young function $Φ$. We prove the Sobolev regularity of a function of the symmetric gradient $\E u$ that takes into account the nonlinear growth of the operator $A(x,P)$, {assuming that the force term $f$ belongs to a suitable Orlicz-Sobolev space. {The main result is achieved through some uniform higher differentiability estimates for solutions to a class of approximating problems, constructed adding singular higher order perturbations to the system.
