Degrees
With a university degree – which is usually the aim of your studies – you are well equipped for the professional life outside the university.
A degree from Uppsala University is internationally recognised and will provide you with qualifications that are high demand in both the Swedish and international labour market. You will also be well prepared to pursue a PhD.
