gradenavn
Gradenavn refers to the official name given to an academic degree as it appears on diplomas, transcripts and certificates. It identifies the level of study and, often, the field of specialization. Degree names are defined by national education authorities and by individual institutions, and they can vary across countries and languages. In practice, graduates may receive degrees such as bachelorgrad, mastergrad or doktorgrad, and the designation can include the subject area (for example, Bachelor i informatikk or Master i psykologi in Norwegian, or Bachelor of Arts in History in English).
