Non licence professions

If you wish to work in a profession that does not require a licence, your employer decides whether you have the right skills or not. Contact the Public Employment Service (Arbetsförmedlingen) or employers directly to apply for jobs or an internship in these professions.

Get your qualification recognised

If you have a qualification for a non-regulated profession you can get your qualification evaluated and recognised by the Swedish Council for Higher Education (UHR) in some cases. The Swedish Council for Higher Education will check what your qualifications correspond to in the Swedish education system. This can be helpful when you are applying for a job or want to study.

Would you like to study to work in a licenced profession?

If you would like to work in a licenced profession, but have not completed your education or do not have the required qualification to get a Swedish licence or certificate of protected professional title, you can study to take the Swedish exam. After you have taken the exam you can apply in the same was as a person educated in Sweden.

Information on how to apply and what is required for admission is available on universityadmissions.se and studera.nu.
