Nordic is a political geography term, especially referring to the five sovereign countries of the Nordic Council: Sweden, Norway, Finland, Denmark and Iceland. Most of northern Europe belongs to temperate continental climate, with long winters, low temperatures and short and cool summers. I brought you the following. What are the advantages for students to study in countries such as Northern Europe and Finland? I hope I can help you.

First, the status quo

Nordic countries have relatively low population density and the highest economic level in Europe. The per capita GNP of Norway, Denmark, Iceland and other countries is far in the forefront of the world. Forestry, hydropower, iron ore mining, fishery, shipbuilding and shipping are all traditional economic sectors in northern Europe. We only study in four countries, not including Iceland.

Second, advantages

1, scholarship

Northern Europe and Norway still implement tuition-free education. Although Denmark, Sweden and Finland charge tuition fees, they all offer various scholarships for tuition reduction, which makes the cost of studying abroad very low. So scholarship is one of the most attractive factors for students. Faced with the high tuition and living expenses in Britain, the United States, Canada and Australia, studying in northern Europe can undoubtedly save a lot of tuition.

2. The visa pass rate is high.

Northern Europe has the same beautiful natural environment as Australia, New Zealand and Canada, and the social crime rate is far lower than that of the United States and Britain. In contrast, visas in the four Nordic countries are much easier, and the probability of being refused is very small.

3. International learning environment

All the four Nordic countries have English-teaching majors, which saves students the stage of learning local languages before and after going abroad, and saves time and expenses for studying abroad. China students only need to take TOEFL or IELTS. There is a good international teaching atmosphere, especially the language environment, and the quality of education is very high.

There are many famous schools.

There are many famous schools in the four Nordic countries, and international education is implemented. English penetration rate is very high. More than 90% people can speak fluent English, so don't worry about language problems. There are many world-class universities in Northern Europe, most of which have a long history, and many Nobel Prize winners were born in this country.

5. Low crime rate

Compared with other countries in Europe and America, the crime rate in the four Nordic countries is very low, especially Finland, which has the lowest crime rate in the world. These four countries have stable society and good public security, and the local residents are warm and friendly to people. Therefore, living in the four Nordic countries will be easier and more free.

6. High per capita income and good social welfare.

Northern Europe is the most developed region in the world at present, with a per capita income of about $30,000 and high social welfare. It is called the welfare from cradle to grave, and the social security is surprisingly good. The natural environment is good and the air is fresh. Nordic people are indifferent to others, but they are different from western Europeans in alienation and long-term communication. You will find that they are sincere, frank and kind. Especially they are very friendly to the people of China! As for some friends who are worried about the climate in northern Europe, in fact, due to the influence of the North Atlantic warm current, although they are at high latitudes, northern Europe is not as cold as people think, and the climate in most areas is similar to that in China.

7, allowed to work

Nordic governments allow international students to work and subsidize their living expenses. There are stipulated working hours during classes, with an average of no more than 16 hours per week, and there is no time limit on holidays. According to the feedback from students' personal experience, if you can work properly to cover your living expenses while studying in Northern Europe, the total living expenses and travel expenses for studying abroad in 1 year shall not exceed 60,000 RMB.

8. Green card and talent policy

Nordic countries welcome talents to settle down. Sweden stipulates that a doctor can get a Swedish green card directly after graduation. Denmark has also launched a talent work plan, giving them a two-year work card after graduation, and Finland can provide a 1 year work card after graduation. At the same time, you can get a local green card if you have found a job in any Nordic country for 4 years. It depends.

9. Employment prospects

Although the Nordic countries are small, they are the birthplace and headquarters of many well-known large companies around the world, such as Maersk, Carlsberg and B&; O, ECCO, bestseller, Novo Nordisk, H&; M, IKEA, SKF bearing, Volvo, Ericsson, Nokia, Jordan paint, etc. These enterprises have branches or factories in China, and there is a great demand for employees who know Nordic and China cultures. In Northern Europe, due to the serious shortage of local talents to study technology, it is easy for China students, especially those majoring in science and engineering, to find jobs.
