Move on up to the European North

The Swedish state fully funds university tuition (with the exception of a few private institutions) for domestic students, but intends to introduce legislation in November 2008 to begin charging non-European students in 2010/2011. Non-Swedes have no recourse to student loans, but various organisations, including the Swedish Institute, provide limited, competitive scholarships to cover living costs. Given the very high quality of graduate programs on offer, low tuition fees make for exceptional value for money for international students coming from overseas.

At the advanced level of study, there are also two degree options: a new degree “masterexamen”, or Master’s degree, for which students are eligible after two years of study at the advanced level and a “magisterexamen,” which corresponds to the current graduate degree offered by Swedish universities, though it will be limited to one-year study programs. At the research level of study, students are eligible for a licentiate degree, “licentiatexamen” after two years of research and a doctorate, “doktorsexamen” after fours years of research.

The Swedish Institute maintains a website, www.studyinsweden.se, aimed at encouraging international students to study in Sweden.
