Validation is the process of surveying, assessing, and recognising prior learning – that is: knowledge, skills, or competencies acquired through education or work experience.
Prior learning towards entry requirements
Even if you do not meet the formal entry requirements, you may still have the chance to study at a university or university college. If you do not meet the formal entry requirements for the course or programme that you wish to study, you can apply for assessment of prior learning.

Prior learning towards courses
If you are registered as a student at Linnaeus University, you may have prior learning validated for credit transfer or conversion into credits towards a higher education course. Such learning may consist of previous studies, work experience, or other qualifications that you wish to have validated.
The point of validation is to allow for you to be exempt from studying a course that you already have corresponding qualifications in.
It is important that you read the information on how to put prior learning towards courses before you make an application.
