högskoleingenjörsutbildning

Högskoleingenjör is a Swedish academic degree. It translates to a Bachelor of Science in Engineering. This degree is awarded by universities and university colleges in Sweden. The program typically lasts for three years, totaling 180 Swedish higher education credits. It focuses on a practical and applied approach to engineering, often with a strong emphasis on laboratory work and project-based learning.

Högskoleingenjör programs are designed to prepare graduates for immediate entry into the engineering profession. They cover core engineering principles within a specific specialization, such as mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, or civil engineering. While providing a solid foundation, the curriculum may delve less deeply into theoretical aspects compared to a higher-level Master of Science in Engineering (civilingenjör) degree. Graduates are qualified for roles such as engineers, technicians, project managers, and technical consultants. The degree is recognized both within Sweden and internationally, though specific recognition can vary by country. Admission typically requires completion of upper secondary education with relevant subjects.
