Country codes in education system: SE
Long-study programmes of 4-6 years are maintained for professional degrees in e.g. medicine, pharmaceutical studies, psychology, dentistry, architecture, civil engineering and law. Higher education leading to degrees that are normally shorter than 3 years and require less than 180 ECTS is offered at ISCED level 5B. Examples are dental hygienist and a number of shorter general, professional or artistic programmes.
Credits from ISCED 5B studies can be transferred to first-cycle
programmes and degrees at ISCED level 5A (course by course or as an
alternative part of an ISCED 5A programme.) This is not centrally regulated but is handled by each higher educational institution.
