Apply for your degree certificate

If you are a student or an alum and hold a degree, you can log in to Ladok for students and retrieve a code for sharing information about your degree. Log in to Ladok with your student account. If you do not have an active student account, you can get an eduID or you can use your credentials at universityadmissions.se. When logging in to Ladok at Malmö University, you will be given the opportunity to log in with one of these alternatives. By sharing the control code for sharing information about your degree, you make it possible for the recipient (for example, an employer) to access information about your degree and its content. If you want to see for yourself what is shared with the recipient, you can log in with the control code and your personal identity number. The same code can be used several times and for several recipients.

You share your degree by:

• logging in to Ladok for students and go to ”Degrees and certificates”
• selecting ”Share certificate”
• sharing the retrieved control code with any recipient

If you have not studied a full programme, your application for a degree certificate is evaluated according to the Degree Requirements (Examensbeskrivning) for your main field of study. The Degree Requirement documents are only available in Swedish.

This type of degree usually requires a certain number of credits and in-depth studies within a main field of study, as well as a stated number of credits from elective courses. There are exceptions, as some degrees from Malmö University require the main field of study is combined with courses from a certain disciplinary domain.

If you want more information, please contact the Degree Office.

The requirements for degree certificates are governed by the Qualifications Ordinance, an appendix to the Higher Education Ordinance. In addition, each university has the right to further regulate the degree requirements.

Read more in the Qualifications Ordinance (uhr.se)

For older regulations please contact the Degree Office.

The degree certificate will be sent to your email registered in Ladok.

Please make sure your contact information in Ladok is correct. It might also be a good idea to double check all your personal data in Ladok. Did you receive a Swedish personal identity number during your studies? If the number is not yet registered in Ladok, you need to report this to us in order for the number to be included on the certificate.

Unfortunately, the degree certificate sometimes ends up in a spam folder. Please make sure to check your spam folder as well.

If we do not find that your application meets the requirements, you will receive a letter with an official decision rejecting your application. If you find the grounds of the decision unclear, you are welcome to contact the Degree Officer who processed your application. You will find their contact information in the letter.

If you disagree with the decision you have the right to appeal the decision within three weeks. Your appeal should be sent to Malmö University's Degree Office, but the final decision will be made by the Higher Educations Appeals Board, a national public authority.
