Understanding Higher Education Institutions in Sweden: Universities and University Colleges

Swedish higher education includes institutions that provide degree programmes, advanced professional education and, where applicable, research.

In Sweden, “Högskola eller universitet” refers to a university or university college providing higher education. These institutions offer degree programmes and advanced professional education, and may also carry out research where applicable. The term helps make a locally familiar education choice understandable in English, while the relevant school listings connect that explanation with the Swedish institutions to which it refers.
