Public University Colleges
A Högskola (university in English) is an instutition of higher education, similar to a university but typically smaller. Unlike a full university, a högskola cannot award a doctoral degree (PhD) in all academic fields. However, the Swedish government has granted the right to some högskola to award PhDs in several specific fields. Most of them also have agreement with other universities to conduct joint doctoral programs. Some of the public högskola are:
