Sharing of degrees

Anyone who has a degree issued at a Swedish higher education institution* can share information about their degree with any recipient (e.g. an employer). Sharing is done by retrieving a control code and communicating it to a recipient, who can use the code to access information about the degree and its content.

*Sharing of degrees is possible for those who have their degree registered in Ladok, which is the study administration system used by most Swedish higher education institutions and colleges (parties in the consortium). It is also required that the higher education institution that issued the degree has activated the sharing function in Ladok for students.
