Local qualification descriptors

For each degree, universities and other higher education institutions may specify more detailed degree requirements over and above to those governed by the Swedish Higher Education Ordinance. At Umeå University, these detailed degree requirements are stated in the local qualification descriptors.

The local qualification descriptors are written in Swedish. You will find them by switching this web page into its Swedish version.

If you need help reading a local qualification descriptor or need guidance in planning your studies, please contact a study counsellor at the Student Services Office or the programme study counsellor at your department or study programme.
