First, the Swedish master's application conditions
1, education
The applicant has a bachelor degree certificate. In actual application, not all Swedish schools require international 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, professional
The postgraduate major applied by international students 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. Language
International students need to have high IELTS or TOEFL 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 when applying, it is recommended that students' language scores reach the level of 600 points in the old TOEFL and 6.5 points in IELTS.
Most Swedish universities 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.
Second, the advantages of studying abroad for a master's degree
1, good educational environment
Most Swedish universities teach in English, which is highly internationalized. Many universities offer English-taught postgraduate and undergraduate majors, which is one of the reasons for attracting international students. Domestic students should not worry that the language is not good enough to adapt to the local environment. In addition, students can learn Swedish, and mastering one more foreign language is very beneficial to their future graduation and employment.
It's easy to apply for a visa.
Sweden has low visa requirements and high success rate: as long as you get the admission notice from the universities of the four Nordic countries, the visa will basically pass 100%.
3. Cost saving
Domestic working families can generally afford to study in Sweden, because the average annual tuition fee is about 6,543,800 yuan and the annual living expenses are about 50,000-60,000 yuan. The net cost of a China student studying in Sweden for one year can be estimated to be about RMB 6,543,800+0.5 million. A three-year undergraduate course and a one-to-two-year master's degree will not cause too much pressure on the family. Compared with hundreds of thousands of study abroad expenses in Britain and America, the study abroad expenses are relatively economical.
4. A generous scholarship
Sweden has introduced many new policies aimed at attracting more international students to study in Sweden. In the past two years, the Swedish government and universities have set up many scholarship programs to provide preferential policies for international students to reduce or even waive tuition fees and provide monthly living allowances. Most scholarships are for graduate students. At present, there are several kinds of scholarships that China students can apply for: bilateral scholarships, visiting scholarships, Swedish Foreign Exchange Committee scholarships, EU EM scholarships (Erasmus Mundus Plan), and on-campus scholarships established by Swedish universities.
