Apply for the award of your degree

Once you have completed your studies, you can apply for a degree. Your degree shows that you have completed a specific course of study or that you have studied a particular subject to a certain level. Often a degree is a pre­req­ui­site for further study or helpful when looking for a job. Chalmers diplomas are issued digitally from 1 April 2024 for degrees at Bachelor's and Master's level. Licentiates and doctoral cer­tifi­cates are issued digitally from the turn of the year 24/25.

Verification of education and degrees

Your degree certificate is proof of your degree, but there will be times when an employer or another higher education institution will want to check that the certificate is genuine – they will want verification of your degree. This can be done in various ways. If you have a login to Ladok for students, you can allow them to verify your degree by sharing your degree with them or creating an official transcript of records. That applies for both digital and paper certificates. Sometimes they may have particular requirements as to how a copy of your paper certificate should be sent. Establish exactly how you need to verify your degree. Chalmers Servicecenter or the Office for Degrees can always verify your degree.
