To be honest the difference is minimal. I studied CS at Mitthögskolan in Östersund, but didn't complete all points before graduation (still had a paper to write and hand in for one of the courses). A year after graduation, Mitthögskolan became a real university (Mittuniversitetet). I emailed the professor in charge of the course I had not yet completed, wrote my paper and handed it in, then received a university diploma in computer science, even though i technically never studied at a "real" university.
