You can apply for a degree either through Ladok or through an application form (preferably sent to examen@his.se as a scanned pdf. Otherwise an application sent from your student e-mail with no signature is acceptable.)

The Degree Evaluations Office will evaluate whether your application fulfills the requirements for a degree certificate according to Lokal examensordning vid Högskolan i Skövde (Only in Swedish). You will be contacted if additional information is needed. If your application does not fulfill the requirements it will be rejected and you will receive a refusal decision. A refusal decision can be appealed.

The degree certificate is sent to you as a mail if you have an address in Sweden. If you have an address abroad the degree certificate is sent to you as a registered mail, which means that you personally have to retrieve it at your local Post Office. Therefore, it is important that you provide the application with your correct and complete address. You can make a request in your application to collect your Degree Certificate from our Student Affairs Office. The processing time for a degree varies depending on the time of year, although it normally takes about two-three months.

Please be aware that your Degree Certificate is a unique valuable document. Although if the Degree Certificate is lost, damaged or destroyed in some way, the university can provide you with a copy of your Degree Certificate.
