Study abroad at a top Nordic university
The Swedish Royal Institute of Technology, KTH, at 196, (www.kth.se) is the largest technical university in Sweden. It has one of the most approachable web sites, from an international student�s perspective, giving a strong impression that international students are welcome. The home page highlights a link to �Masters programmes taught in English�. Its International Office provides a list of the international coordinators based in each school of the University, encouraging international contact to be made. There are a large number of courses offered in English including the 1.5 year MSc �Teknologie Magister�. Sweden has four further institutions ranked between 150 and 200 and their websites allow some of the fastest access to information on international masters programmes, in particular. Chalmers University of Technology (www.chalmers.se), at 166, has a user-friendly banner-link to international masters programmes on its home page. Lund University (www.lu.se) at 180, also flags up 20 international masters programmes on its home page. Also ranked 180, Uppsala University (www.up.se) provides a comprehensive listing of programmes targeted at the international student in all subject areas across the university. At 190, Gothenburg (www.gu.se) has a large number of courses taught in English.

Once again, the WUR has highlighted outstanding universities worthy of consideration for study, which may not have been in the forefront of many students� minds when seeking to study abroad. The commitment shown by ranked world-class Nordic institutions to developing their programmes with the international student in mind and encouraging them to apply, suggests that numbers will continue to grow in the coming years.
