Certificates of studies

Do you need a certificate of results, a certificate of registration or a copy of your degree certificate? On this page, you will find out how you can get the documentation you need.


Certificate of results or certificate of registration

A certificate of results shows your completed courses and, if relevant, your degree. It can be used to prove your study results to an employer, for example.

A certificate of registration shows which courses you are now or have previously been registered on, and during which semesters. You can use the certificate to show that you have been a student at Umeå University, for example to the unemployment fund. There is no information about a degree on a certificate of registration.

Get your certificate yourself

The easiest way to get a certificate of result or certificate of registration is to download the certificate yourself from Ladok.

If you have studied at other Swedish universities and want to include those in your certificate, you can get a national official transcript of records from Ladok.

The certificates have an electronic seal that confirms that they are genuine.
