I want to go abroad for postgraduate study. Can you give me some advice about countries that want to reduce tuition fees?

I think all things considered, you can apply for universities in northern Europe. The reasons are as follows.

1, Finland and Norway are still free of charge, and Sweden may start charging from 20 10. Tuition fees are charged in Denmark (6,000 euros per year for undergraduates and 0/3,000 euros for postgraduates).

2. The level of institutions in Northern Europe is relatively high, and the ranking may not be so important, but the competitiveness of schools in these countries is still quite good. To give a few examples, Uppsala University in Sweden is recognized as a high-quality institution in Europe, especially in biological research, with considerable funds from literature publishing to teaching. Lund University in Sweden was the place where the Bluetooth standard was originally designed. It is a good choice to study computer science and engineering. The University of Helsinki in Finland is comprehensive and has a good reputation. Denmark has the University of Copenhagen. Although this school needs to charge tuition fees, it also provides scholarships, which can cover tuition fees and have a slight balance. Norway is the most expensive country in the four Nordic countries, and Oslo University is the best university in Norway.

Considering that the economy is not affluent and the cost of living in northern Europe is relatively high, we should be cautious in life. For example, I studied in Sweden (as a graduate student) and didn't return to China in the first year, spending a total of 55,000 RMB. I can still save money to reduce my living expenses. In addition, you can work in northern Europe with a student visa, but there is a tax-free ceiling for working in Sweden. (per year 18000kr, 1kr = 1 RMB) and Denmark has more advantages at this time. There are no tax restrictions for Danish students to work, which may be attractive to the landlord.

4. Speaking of the study pressure here, it is relatively great. Swedish English-taught postgraduate program, graduated in two years 120 credits, with many courses and really high teaching level. My English and German classmates all hold a positive attitude when evaluating the postgraduate teaching in Sweden.

5, immigration, Swedish immigration is more difficult. It is also relatively difficult to find a job after graduation, because the unemployment rate in Sweden has also increased slightly in recent years, and job opportunities are still reserved for nationals. However, in recent years, the economic situation in Norway and Denmark is good, and they are both areas with more job opportunities after graduation.

6. English scores, IELTS 6 or above, apply for Nordic graduate programs. At the same time, if the landlord is going to study business, it is best to score 7 on IELTS. TOEFL scores are also accepted, and GRE and GMAT are not required.

7. Scholarships. Sweden offers relatively few scholarships. There is a scholarship called EM offered by the European Union, but it is very difficult to apply. CSC scholarship provided by China National Foundation for Studying Abroad is also a good choice, with 5900kr per month for graduate students for two years. Considering that the landlord's undergraduate background is acceptable, he is eligible to apply for CSC scholarship.

8, public security, Nordic environment is good, daily life is very safe, compared with other European countries, the crime rate here is very low.

9. Second, if the landlord is interested, he can come here to learn a local language, or learn a language now. Nordic countries generally have a high level of English, so it is no problem to communicate in English here.

10, major and college, I only know that the British and American literature and European culture in Sweden and Uppsala are very good. Lund's liberal arts are also very good, such as pedagogy. In terms of business, the business of Stockholm University is very good, and the business of Gothenburg University can also be considered.

1 1, major changes, where the background requirements for major changes are not particularly strict. If the landlord can provide some work certificates or internship experience related to his target major, it will be much easier to apply.
