Study in Sweden

Why do so many international students choose to study in Sweden?
Many students studying in Sweden come from abroad – 8.5% of the student body, according to the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) – making Sweden one of the world’s most inclusive countries for education. But there is room for more: the number grew by over 80% over the last 4-year period. There are now PhD candidates from some 80 countries working towards their degrees in Sweden.

Sweden’s educational policy is based on the recognition that a multicultural student body is a resource. Competition for places is keen, but students of all nationalities may apply, given the right credentials; and degree equivalency for past studies is granted on a flexible basis.

What are the advantages of Swedish education?
The Swedish higher education system was decentralized in the early 1990s. As a result the government now sets degree frameworks and conducts quality controls but leaves decisions regarding course content to the institutions themselves.Institutions are free to structure courses and programs according to their own needs, but using a common credit system. This provides students a greater measure of control over their own education. Programs are structured and grants allocated in response to student demand.Higher education plays a pivotal role in regional development. Universities and university colleges are spread all over the country.

What does is Cost to study in Sweden?
The Swedish Institute, a government agency, each year administers over 500 scholarships for students and researchers coming to Sweden to pursue their objectives at a Swedish university.The number of available scholarships varies from year to year, and competition is keen. Most foreign students in Sweden finance their stay without help from scholarships. There are several different kinds of SI scholarship available.

Who should I contact regarding these courses in India?
In India you won’t have trouble getting an educational consultant. But the question is that whether they would provide you with accurate information regarding fees, courses, colleges, universities, value of education, getting admission, requirements & living costs.

I have made a list of consultants that are well known in & around India. Kindly go to their website for getting details about the countries that they support & also how to reach them.
