Titles of qualifications
A translation of a Swedish qualification into English must reflect the scope and, where relevant, the area of specialisation and level of the qualification.
Högskoleverket (Swedish National Agency for Higher Education) is responsible for translating a qualification's main title and the complete titles of professional degrees. Higher education institutions may add additional words to the main title of university diplomas and Bachelors' and Masters' degrees within the arts, sciences, social sciences and artistic fields.
