Recognition of foreign qualifications

The Swedish Council for Higher Education (UHR) evaluates foreign qualifications in order to provide support for people looking for work in Sweden, people who wish to continue studying, or for employers who wish to employ someone with foreign qualifications.

Information related to the coronovirus outbreak

Due to the work situation as related to the coronavirus outbreak, it can take a bit longer time for us to complete certain tasks, such as sending copies of recognition statements and returning original documents. We appreciate your patience as we work as quickly as we can.

Use our Qualifications Assessment Tool

This tool (information in Swedish) provides you with an immediate response indicating what your foreign qualifications are equivalent to in Sweden. You can download this response as a PDF and submit it together with your education documents when applying for a job or planning further studies.
