Degree Evaluation Office
The Degree Evaluation Office is the decision-making and administrative authority at Umeå University regarding degree certificate matters at first, second and third level for all faculties. We are also entitled to make decisions on credit transfers in connection with degree applications. The students turn to us to apply for their degree certificates.
When a degree application is received, the studies of the student in question undergo quality control. The application is reviewed in respect to applicable degree regulations, both national and local. If the application is accepted, the degree is issued and the certificate is sent to the student.
The Degree Evaluation Office prepares and provides to the Vice-Chancellor proposals for decisions on the establishment of degree requirements, compiles new study programmes and new main fields of study. The Degree Evaluation Office is also responsible for the secretariat of the Degree Board, in which it is involved with one member.
We hold information on what degrees that are issued at Umeå University, the regulations for different degrees and transfer of credits.
You are welcome to visit us on the 3rd floor of the East Wing in the Administration Building.
