Ny svensk-engelsk ordbok för högre utbildning

Högskoleverket har utvecklat en elektronisk svensk-engelsk ordbok med översättningar av ord, som är speciella för högskoleområdet eller har särskild betydelse när det gäller utbildning.

Ordboken är sökbar både från svenska och engelska. Vissa av begreppen innehåller även en definition eller en anmärkning på svenska. Ibland finns det länkar till andra källor.
