[edit] University or college?

Article has been recently edited to change the University to a University College. The website for the organisation [1] declares itself a University. I'm confused! --Oscarthecat 20:43, 31 October 2005 (UTC)

Hi Oscarthecat. I don't blame you, I find it confusing too. Then I read the article university college on the section about Sweden, and it became clear. Regards, Fred-Chess 21:17, 31 October 2005 (UTC)

The Swedish National Agency for Higher Education (and ultimately the government) determines if an institution has the status of a university (universitet) or a university college (högskola).[2]. The list of all Swedish institutions of higher education can be found here, where you will se that Högskolan i Gävle is translated as "University College of Gävle".

Thanks for helping clear this up folks. I've added a paragraph to the University_College_of_Gävle claritying why the confusion and what the actual answer is. --Oscarthecat 21:47, 31 October 2005 (UTC)
