Credit transfers
Have you studied a course at another higher education institution that you feel is equivalent to what you are studying here? Or have you studied courses abroad and want them included on your degree certificate? If so, you can apply to have the credits transferred.
If you have completed a course or courses at a different higher education institution in Sweden and want them included on your degree certificate, they do not need to be transferred here, they are included anyway.
However, if you have studied a course or courses that you feel are equivalent to some on the programme you are studying, you should apply to have the credits transferred. This is so that you don’t need to study something for which you already have the equivalent skills or knowledge.
If you have studied one or more courses abroad and want these included on your degree certificate, they must first have the credits transferred and registered in Ladok.
A credit transfer is a decision that knowledge and skills acquired through education at a Swedish higher education institution, a foreign higher education institution, other forms of education, lifelong learning, or professional experience may be included in a course or degree. Provisions regarding credit transfer at the undergraduate, advanced, and doctoral levels are found in Chapter 6, paragraphs 7–8 of the Swedish Higher Education Ordinance.
