For questions pertaining to institutions in Sweden claiming to offer degrees, please contact the Swedish Council for Higher Education (ENIC-NARIC Sweden) enic-naric.sverige@uhr.se.

The Swedish Government grants degree-awarding powers to private institutions. Those wishing to apply for the right to award Swedish degrees must undergo a quality assurance process and meet certain criteria. For information about the application process, please contact the Swedish Ministry of Education and Research.

Private institutions without public funding may operate legally without approval or quality assurance by the Swedish authorities. However, if they want to make their students eligible for state study grants, they must undergo a quality assurance procedure. The institutions mentioned above (Independent higher education providers lacking degree-awarding powers) do not have such approval for study grants.
