Recognition of foreign qualifications - Swedish Council for Higher Education

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.

Use the Qualifications Assessment Tool

This tool 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.

Online application

Use our online application to apply for an evaluation and recognition of your qualifications.

  • Have your supporting documentation ready and scanned in pdf-format.
  • You do not need to have a Swedish personal identity number.
  • The application is free of charge.

No Swedish personal identity number?

You can apply for recognition even if you do not have a Swedish personal identity number. You do need to be a citizen of an EU/EEA country or have a residence permit, work permit or valid LMA card.
