A master's degree in Sweden usually takes two years. Nordic is a political and geographical term, especially referring to the five sovereign countries of the Nordic Council: Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Finland and Iceland.

Conditions for applying for Swedish graduate students
1. The applicant has a bachelor's degree certificate. In actual application, not all Swedish schools require students to provide degree certificates, and some schools are also willing to accept applications from senior students, such as the Royal Swedish Institute of Technology and chalmers university of technology, Sweden.
2. The applied postgraduate major must be the same as the undergraduate major. Sweden is not allowed to change majors. Almost all Swedish schools require international students to apply for this major. If international students have two degrees in university, they can apply for any major.
3. Swedish students need to have high scores. According to the regulations of Swedish schools, foreign students can only apply if their language scores reach the old TOEFL score of 550 and IELTS score of 6, but the number of overseas students studying in Sweden is increasing year by year. Therefore, in order to have greater confidence in the application, it is suggested that students' language scores should reach the level of 600 points in the old TOEFL, and above 6.5 points.
4. Most schools have no hard and fast rules on the Swedish language of applicants. Although Swedish is rarely explicitly stipulated in the admission standards of schools, because many Swedish universities teach in Swedish or hold lectures and seminars in Swedish, if foreign students know nothing about Swedish, it will have a certain impact on their study. It is suggested that international students who are interested in going to Sweden take some Swedish courses and have a basic understanding of Swedish.
In addition to the above conditions, Swedish universities will also examine the applicant's comprehensive quality to judge whether he has the conditions and potential to study in Sweden.
Expanding reading: the advantages of studying in Sweden
The Kingdom of Sweden, referred to as Sweden for short, is one of the five Nordic countries and one of the countries with the largest land area in Europe. Sweden is one of the countries with the highest welfare in the world. Since 18 14, there has never been a war or participated in a world war. The country has been committed to developing the economy, implementing a wide range of social welfare policies and establishing a sound social welfare system.
As a European country, Sweden has gradually gained the favor of international students and their parents in recent years. Today, I will explain the advantages of studying in Sweden.
1, many famous schools
For so many years, Sweden has been committed to developing economy and education and implementing international education. The English penetration rate is very high, resulting in many world-renowned schools, such as Lund University in Sweden and Royal Swedish Institute of Technology, which are among the top 100 schools in the world, ranking 92 and 98 respectively. Uppsala University, Chalmers University of Technology and Stockholm University rank in the range of 100-200 in the world. Therefore, although Sweden is not a big country, the quality of schools is very good. There are five universities in Sweden, ranking in the top 200 in the world, and seven universities in China, which is one of the reasons why many parents and students choose to study in Sweden.
2. English teaching
The biggest feature of Nordic countries is the high English penetration rate. Although the official language of Sweden is Swedish, more than 90% of Swedes have received a good English education and can speak very fluent English. In addition, the Swedish government advocates and vigorously develops international education, and many schools and majors teach in English, which also relieves the pressure on students to learn small languages to some extent. Students only need to provide a qualified IELTS score when applying for undergraduate or master's degree.
3. Good employment prospects
Although Sweden is a small country, its economic development level and scientific and technological development level are very high. Is one of the richest countries in the world, a large number of world-renowned large companies, such as H&; M, IKEA, Volvo, Ericsson and so on. As soon as possible, the headquarters of many world-famous companies were born in Sweden, but there are relatively few local people studying technology in Sweden, so it is very easy for China students, especially those studying science and engineering from China, to find jobs. It is very advantageous for students to study in Swedish universities and return to China as returnees to find jobs. If they have the opportunity to stay and work there, their future development prospects are also very optimistic.
