List of universities and colleges in Sweden

This is a list of the universities and colleges in Sweden . The National Agency for Higher Education (Högskoleverket), commissioned by the Swedish Ministry of Education, Research and Culture Authority for the management and administration of the higher education system , lists 14 state universities and four "independent institutions " with full recognition of postgraduate studies financial statements.

There are also 24 state universities and 10 “independent program providers”, with recognition of undergraduate degrees in accordance with the Swedish higher education system. However, four of these 24 state universities are also entitled to issue full university degrees, which also indicates changes that are currently taking place in the Swedish education system.
