Verifying your degree

Sharing a degree certificate

Anyone who is awarded a degree by a Swedish higher education institution* can share information about their degree with any recipient (e.g. an employer). To share details of a degree, a degree holder can download a control code and send it to the intended recipient, who can then use the code to access the information.

Sharing details about your degree certificate

The following information is intended for students who want to share information about their degree with a third party, such as an employer.

If you are an SLU student or alumnus and have had a degree issued, you can log in to Ladok for students and generate a code to share your degree information. By sharing this code, you give the recipient access to your degree details. If you want to see exactly what the recipient will see, you can log on using the code and your personal identity number. The same code can be used multiple times and sent to several recipients.

To share your degree details:

  • Log on to Ladok for students and select Degrees and certificates.
  • Select Share certificate.
  • Forward the generated code to your chosen recipient.

If you do not have access to Ladok for students anymore, you can create a new login on the page eduID.se.

You can also contact the degree officers to have information about your degree verified.

Verify degree information

The following information is intended for anyone wishing to verify information about a degree.

Verifying that an individual has a degree can easily be done digitally by entering the personal identity number of the person whose degree you wish to verify and a control code that they will send you. You will then be able to see information about the degree and its content. The information is retrieved directly from Ladok*.

To verify degree information:

*Sharing degrees is possible for anyone whose degree is registered in Ladok, the study administration system used by most Swedish higher education institutions (www.ladok.se/om-oss/parter in Swedish). The higher education institution that issued the degree must also have activated the sharing function in Ladok for students.
