Swedish Higher
Vocational Education
At post-secondary level, Swedish Higher Vocational Education (HVE) combines theory and practice and is delivered in close cooperation with industry sectors.
HVE programmes are designed to meet labour market demands and allow the students to put learning into practice through work placement.
Learning through actual experience
The majority of programmes vary in duration from 1 to 3 years.
Programme content for those comprising 400 HVE credits includes at least 25% work placement. The placements are referred to as LIA (learning in a work environment).
HVE graduates are sought after and are regularly recruited by companies straight after or even before completing their studies.
There are 16 fields of study with different
specialisations to choose between. Everything from Hotel Manager to Robot Operator.

HVE graduates often find employment straight after completing their studies. About 89 percent of the 2014 graduates were either employed or self-employed by autumn 2015.
