In a time of ever-increasing digital transformation, we see that all areas in the society need to constantly adapt to this development, not least the education sector. This in combination with international mobility calls for continual evaluation of the student administration processes, to ensure the students and alumni to be able to access and share the qualifications they have earned. To meet these requirements, the development of an improved and further digitized system for digital degrees in Sweden is taking place. The functionality is based on the approach that instead of focusing on the document (i.e. the degree certificate) the focus is on the digital decision which is made and saved digitally. There will still be a document, but this will merely be a representation of the actual decision and therefore have no further legal meaning. This way of looking at the document makes it possible for the student to retrieve new documents when needed.
