The four Nordic countries have developed economies and high education levels. In recent years, the number of people studying abroad has also increased. There are several popular countries studying in Northern Europe: Finland, Sweden, Norway and Denmark. What are the conditions for studying abroad in these countries? Come and have a look at my detailed introduction!

I. Conditions for Studying in Northern Europe (1) Finland

1. Age 18-35, male or female. Those with relevant work experience can relax the admission and age conditions appropriately.

2. Good health, good conduct and no bad record.

3. Must study in institutions of higher learning or vocational and technical training colleges.

(2) Sweden

Undergraduate application conditions

1. Complete high school graduation certificate materials, mainly graduation certificates. However, this is usually not enough. Some schools have special requirements for certain majors. They must take some supplementary courses before they can take many majors (such as architecture) and medicine. You need to pass a special exam to be admitted.

2. To have a good English level, the TOEFL score should be at least 500-550.

3. Be able to attend classes in Swedish, take notes, read reference books, and pass the national Swedish proficiency test sponsored by Swedish authorities. To do this, you need to study Swedish for at least one year in Sweden.

4. Undergraduate study takes a long time and needs to provide economic security during the whole study period. You only need about 300,000 kronor to get a Swedish entry visa and residence permit.

Postgraduate application conditions

1. Complete university studies, hold a bachelor's degree certificate, and the postgraduate major is consistent with university studies. According to our past experience, some universities in Sweden, such as Royal Institute of Technology and chalmers university of technology, also accept applications from senior students, which is true for many students who are about to graduate. It is undoubtedly good news for senior students to go abroad for further study after graduation.

Students must have a high level of English. According to the information published on the website of Swedish universities, the old TOEFL 550 or IELTS 6.0 is generally required. But in recent years, with more and more international students applying for Swedish graduate students, in order to gain an advantage among many competitors, we suggest that students' English scores should reach IELTS 6.5.

3. The university department has no formal requirements for Swedish for the students applying for graduate students, but there is no formal requirement for Swedish teaching. The seminar requires a high level of Swedish. It is suggested that some students who don't know Swedish take short-term Swedish courses while studying postgraduate courses.

A bachelor's degree is not a sufficient condition for graduate students. Universities often have to evaluate other aspects of an applicant to see if he/she has the ability to pursue further studies or even complete a doctorate.

3) Norway

Educational requirements

Undergraduate course: Norwegian universities accept undergraduate students and require applicants to graduate from high school to grade one or even two years. For students in China, they can study and graduate at the university if they have a college degree of more than one year.

Master's degree: The Norwegian master's degree course is taught in English, mainly for eastern European countries and developing countries to enjoy Norwegian R&D scholarships, or to provide education for international students through exchange programs and quota programs, and to accept a small number of self-funded international students. Some international students in exchange programs can choose master's courses, but they can't get a master's degree.

Doctoral degree: Foreign students applying for doctoral degree in Norway should have the same conditions as Norwegian applicants. However, only a master's degree does not necessarily guarantee that the applicant will be admitted. Due to the fierce competition among doctoral students, applicants should contact their interested departments before applying.

Language requirements

Due to the continuous expansion of exchange programs, almost all universities in Norway have participated in some exchange programs. Therefore, Norwegian universities adopt the mode of English education system, and there are more and more English majors. Nevertheless, the official language of Norwegian university professors is Norwegian, and almost all undergraduate majors are taught in Norwegian. Foreign students applying for Norwegian teaching degree courses should have a good foundation in Norwegian.

English language requirements:

TOEFL for studying in Norway: 500 (undergraduate) and above 550 (computer test 170)

IELTS for studying in Norway: 5-5.5 or above.

Denmark has a three-year undergraduate education system, with an annual tuition fee of about 5,000-8,000 euros, a monthly living allowance of about 500 euros and an annual living allowance of about 6,000 euros. Therefore, the living expenses and tuition fees of Danish undergraduate students are about 90- 1.3 million yuan.

Third, the advantages of studying abroad 1, with high cost performance.

Compared with studying in Britain and America, studying in Northern Europe can save a lot of study expenses.

Norway and Finland provide tuition-free education to non-EU countries, and only charge a small registration fee (about 1 000 RMB) every year. Denmark and Sweden charge about 50,000-80,000 yuan of tuition every year, which is also a cost-effective choice, making it easy for the working class to realize their dream of studying abroad.

There are many famous schools.

There are not many schools in Northern Europe, but each country has several world-famous universities.

For example, Karolinska Medical College in Sweden (the annual Nobel Prize in Medicine), Uppsala University, Lund University, Stockholm University, Royal University of Technology, Chalmers University of Technology, Gothenburg University, Stockholm School of Economics, Swedish Agricultural University, etc. University of Helsinki and Aalto University in Finland; University of Oslo in Norway, University of Bergen and Norwegian University of Science and Technology, University of Copenhagen in Denmark, etc.

These universities are frequent visitors to the top 200 or even the top 100 universities in the world.

3. Welfare policy

Studying in northern Europe, don't worry about getting sick.

Northern Europe is a world-famous high welfare area, where the country is rich and the people are strong. Studying here for half a year or one year can enjoy the same welfare benefits as local residents, such as free medical insurance (studying in Sweden for more than one year).

Step 4 allow work

The Nordic government allows international students to work and subsidize their living expenses. The average working time per week is no more than 20 hours, and there is no time limit on holidays.

Moreover, the income from working in Nordic countries is relatively high, reaching 120 yuan per hour. Therefore, Nordic students will not have too much economic pressure and burden.

5. Immigration is very convenient

At present, Nordic countries are facing an aging population, because they will attract talents from all over the world through loose immigration policies, and it is easy to obtain permanent residency or nationality by studying abroad.

For example, Denmark will provide high-end education talents with green cards for about three years; Swedish doctoral graduates live directly for a long time, and other graduates can live for a long time after 4 years.

6. Visa is very convenient

The four Nordic countries are all members of the Schengen Agreement. With a Nordic visa, you can freely enter and leave 27 countries in the European Union without a visa, which saves trouble for international students to travel during holidays.

7. Good social security.

Northern Europe has a good public security and a very low crime rate. Here, we can hardly see the negative news that foreign students are violently attacked or robbed.

Of course, good public security in northern Europe cannot be separated from a sound welfare system. Here, people can enjoy free medical insurance, sound occupational and old-age insurance, which greatly reduces the unstable factors in people's lives.

8, livable and suitable for travel

As a famous tourist destination, Northern Europe has not only beautiful scenery, but also simple folk customs, and people here live comfortably.

Such an equal and harmonious city is very suitable for living and traveling.

9. Widespread employment

Although northern Europe is not big, it is the birthplace of many famous companies in the world.

For example, Sweden's H &；; M, IKEA, SKF bearing, Volvo, Ericsson; Nokia in Finland; Maersk Denmark, Carlsberg, hearing aid, B&; O sound; Norwegian shipping company, Jordan paint company, oil company, etc.

These companies have a large number of employees in Northern Europe and China. Especially in northern Europe, there is a serious shortage of skilled talents, so it will be of great advantage for international students to choose science and technology majors if they want to work locally.
