studiebok

Studiebok is a term used in several Nordic languages, literally meaning “study book.” It refers to a document or file that records a student’s formal studies. A studiebok can be physical or digital and is typically maintained by the educational institution or, in some cases, by the student as a personal record. The contents usually include the student’s name and institution, program or course of study, a list of courses or modules with codes, earned credits, grades or assessments, dates of completion, and notes on competencies or practical training. It may also record attendance or other milestones.

In different contexts the studiebok serves as an official credential or supplementary record to verify progress when applying for further study, professional licensing, or employment. Historically, in some countries the studiebok functioned as the primary record of a student’s progress before the wider adoption of standardized transcripts. Today, many institutions have replaced or integrated studiebok data into digital student information systems, though some vocational programs or religious institutions may continue to use a paper or semi-digital studiebok to document hands-on training and apprenticeship hours.
