Sharing degrees 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 graduates who want to share information about their degree with a third party (e.g. an employer).

If you are an SLU student or alumnus and have had a degree issued, you can log in to Ladok Student and generate a code to share information about your degree. By sharing this code, you can give the recipient, e.g. an employer, access to information about your degree. If you want to see exactly what information the recipient can see, log on using the code and your personal identity number. The same code can be used more than once and you can send it to more than one recipient.

To share your exam details:

  • Log on to Ladok for students and select ‘Degrees and certificates’.
  • Select ‘Share certificate’.
  • Then forward the code to a recipient you choose.

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

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