Many students in India and elsewhere are showing interest in studying in sweden. With a high standard of education, immigrant-friendly policies and a near-perfect social system, sweden is one of the ideal destination for higher education.
I try to compile some useful information about studying in sweden.
Application and Admission
The admission procedure is very straght forward. STUDERA is the website where one has to apply for admission to all courses in all universtities in sweden.
Take your time to browse through this site. Make sure to submit all the required document before the deadline and you are on your way in.
A recent trend is to apply through a agent. The agent usually charges 50,000 rupees or more with a promise of getting admission in the university of your choice. That's not true! .The agent has no say in the admission procedure and i strongly recommend not to go through the agent, unless you have a lot of money to waste.
Accomadation
When it comes to accomadation, i must admit that it is difficult to find one in sweden. BLOCKET is the best place to begin your search. Alternatively, Call your university and enquire about student accomadation. The people are generally nice and will be happy to assist you.
Cost of Living
Spending pattern is different for each one of us. Swedein is one of the expensive places to live in europe. Most students i know spend somewhere between 5500 to 6500 SEK per month on living.
So, If you are looking for a calm, peaceful student life and a good quality of education, you should give sweden a serious thought.
Happy Learning!!!
