Preparing to apply

When you have completed your studies it is time to apply for a qualification from the higher education institution where you took your final credits. You apply on the Student portal or use the document  Application for Diploma Degree Certificate under related documents.

Before you apply:

  • Check your data on the student database LADOK on the Student portal.
  • Only full, completed courses may be included in the certificate. Modules can consequently not be included.
  • Check that studies, placements, MFS and similar from abroad have been added to LADOK. If anything is missing or incorrect, contact the school in question.
  • Check that grades, the date grades were awarded, and the title of the independent project are correct. If something is incorrect, contact the school in question before you apply.
  • If courses from another university are to be included in your certificate, you have to enclose certified copies of degree, course or enrolment certificates in both Swedish and English, since the certificate is in two languages.
  • If you want to include courses from other education institutions you may have to provide course syllabuses and reading lists.
  • Courses with shared content (overlap) may transferred to one qualification, counting the number of credits that remain after deduction has been made for the overlapping content.
  • If you have changed your name or personal identity number and this hasn't been registered in LADOK, you have to enclose a birth certificate from the Tax Agency with your application.

If your application for a certificate is rejected, you can lodge an appeal with the Appeals Board, Instructions on how to appeal are provided when your application is rejected.
