Recognising qualifications from Pakistan

How it works

1. 1

   Try UHR’s Qualifications Assessment Tool

   For many degrees you get an immediate comparison as a downloadable PDF.

2. 2

   Apply for an individual evaluation

   If your degree is not in the tool, apply online. The evaluation is voluntary and free. You get a recognition statement.

3. 3

   Prepare documents

   Degree certificates and transcripts. English documents need no translation; Urdu ones do.

4. 4

   Regulated profession?

   Doctors, nurses, teachers and some others need a licence from the responsible authority — for healthcare professions, Socialstyrelsen. UHR refers you there.
