Recognition of foreign titles in Switzerland
Swiss ENIC is the national information center for questions concerning recognition in higher education.

Swiss ENIC issues (non-binding) level confirmations for foreign higher education qualifications upon request and provides information on:
- the Swiss higher education system
- admission to higher education institutions
- the recognition of foreign qualifications
- the protection of titles in Switzerland
- the use of foreign titles in Switzerland
- multilateral conventions of the Council of Europe and UNESCO relating to higher education (in particular the Lisbon Convention)
Recognition of foreign titles in Sweden
The Swedish Council for Higher Education is a central agency responsible for matters relating to institutions of higher education. It evaluates the higher education institutions and performs quality audits and supervises the institutions of higher education in Sweden.
The Swedish Council also evaluates qualifications awarded on completion of higher education programs outside Sweden. This evaluation determines to which Swedish program the foreign program corresponds. The Swedish Council evaluates only qualifications awarded to individuals from complete programs with a duration of a minimum of two years. All other qualifications must be evaluated by a Swedish university if they are to be included in a Swedish diploma.
Information in Swedish about studies in higher education in Sweden is provided by the Swedish Council for Higher Education.
