Qualifications Assessment Tool
Find out what a foreign qualification compares to in Sweden
The Swedish Council for Higher Education (UHR) is Sweden’s ENIC-NARIC centre. We have a national task to inform about and evaluate foreign education. With this service, you’ll receive information on what a foreign qualification compares to in Sweden.

About the qualification comparison
UHR assesses the foreign qualification as comparable to a Swedish Degree of Bachelor. The foreign qualification is in a profession that is regulated (requires authorisation) in Sweden. The Swedish Board of Agriculture is the competent authority that decides on licences for work within veterinary medicine. Please visit jordbruksverket.se
The figure below shows the assigned level of the Swedish qualification in the Swedish National Qualifications Framework (SeQF) and how it relates to the European qualifications frameworks.
This assessment is provided as guidance by UHR. It is based on our knowledge of the country’s education system and not on the individual’s education documents. UHR applies the principles of the international recognition convention Lisbon Recognition Convention and assumes the foreign qualification is recognised in the country of study.
