What are the advantages of studying in Sweden?

Sweden is the hometown of Nobel, with advanced science and technology and high level of higher education, and several universities are world-renowned. Apart from school and professional factors, studying in Sweden has at least two advantages: first, not only is primary and secondary education free in Sweden, but even universities generally do not charge tuition fees, so international students can save this fee; Second, Sweden is a well-known "welfare state". Foreign students who have studied in Sweden for more than one year are automatically registered and can enjoy free medical care. In addition, Sweden has a stable society and a good public security situation, so studying and living in Sweden will make you feel more secure. However, studying in Sweden also has disadvantages: first, Swedish universities generally teach in Swedish, especially as undergraduates, if they don't know Swedish, they can't enter school; Second, the cost of living in Sweden is relatively high. According to the budget made by the Swedish Immigration Bureau for foreign students, each person needs to spend about 6,300 Swedish kronor (1 USD) per month, including 2,400 kronor for meals, 2 100 kronor for accommodation, 500 kronor for transportation and 1300 kronor for other expenses. Although China students are not afraid of hardship and can scrimp and save, they spend about 5,000 kroner a month. It costs a lot of money to study like this for a few years. There are more than 40 higher education institutions in Sweden. The most famous comprehensive universities are Stockholm University, Uppsala University, Lund University, Gothenburg University, Umeo University and Lin Xueping University. These universities have many departments and tens of thousands of students. The most famous colleges in Sweden are Stockholm Business School, Royal Institute of Technology, Karolinska Medical College, Chalmers Institute of Technology and Lureo University of Technology. Karolinska Medical College is a famous institution to select the winners of the Nobel Prize in Medicine. Many medical students in our country are studying or studying for degrees there. Although the number of international students in China has increased every year in recent years, it has not changed much; The special national conditions make the Nordic countries, mainly Sweden, still leave only a narrow passage for China students. However, to some extent, this passage does give China people who want to bathe in western culture a realistic choice. In Sweden, almost all China students think that the most attractive things here are: free tuition, English teaching, famous European universities and high visa rate. There are many other advantages of studying in Sweden: international students who hold visas for more than one year can enjoy high local benefits (such as free medical care), beautiful natural environment, local people are cold outside and hot inside, complete social service institutions, and international students can easily travel in Europe (Sweden is a member of Schengen) and so on. Speaking of learning languages, it seems that the only possibility at present is Meradaren College in Sweden. This college is the only Swedish university that can be seen in advertisements for studying in China, and it is also one of the schools with the largest number of international students in China. Mr Berghstrom, director of the international student affairs office of the college, said that the college has offered courses for China students for 5-7 years, and the first two years were language courses. After that, you can directly enter the college for undergraduate study, but the results of the first two years are only applicable to the college, not to other Swedish universities, and you must pay the tuition fee for studying in Sweden for two years, about 3500-5400 RMB per month. Cui Bei, from Tianjin, has studied languages for two years and is about to enter the next stage of undergraduate study. She said that studying here has both advantages and disadvantages. One of the biggest disadvantages is that it will waste time, because you have to study for two years. In the past few years, there were about 30 China students enrolled in school every year, but many China people who came through the intermediary had poor English level and comprehensive learning ability, and they came purely for going abroad instead of studying abroad, which brought many negative effects. At present, the Swedish Immigration Bureau has noticed this phenomenon, so although the China project of the Institute is still effective, the control has been much stricter. Swedish universities implement credit system and degree system. The score of each course is different, generally between 5 and 10. A student can get 1 point every week, and generally get 20 points after one semester. A major needs to accumulate more than 80 points, that is, at least two years of study. After reaching this score, the school will issue professional certificates to students to prove their academic qualifications. After that, if students continue to study, they can get a bachelor's degree after completing 120, including 60 points for professional courses and 10 for independent papers. If the score reaches 160, including 80 points for specialized courses and 20 points for independent papers, you can get a master's degree. Only those with a score of 160 or above are eligible for doctoral studies, which usually takes four years to study. There are only a few international students from China studying in Sweden. To become an undergraduate, you must meet the following conditions: 1. Have a complete high school diploma, mainly a diploma. However, this is usually not enough. Some schools have special requirements for some majors, and they have to take some make-up classes before they can go to school. Many majors (such as architecture and medicine) need special exams to be admitted. Second, to have a good English level, the TOEFL score should be at least 500-550. Third, you should be able to listen to lectures, take notes and read reference books in Swedish, and pass the national Swedish proficiency test sponsored by the Swedish authorities. To do this, you need to study Swedish for at least one year in Sweden. Fourth, the undergraduate study time is long, and it is necessary to provide financial guarantee for the whole study period, about 300 thousand kronor, in order to get an entry visa and residence permit in Sweden. It is difficult for high school graduates from China to get into Swedish universities. In recent years, people studying in Sweden in China are mainly divided into two categories: one is advanced students sent by the State Education Commission, universities and some scientific research institutions, that is, international students at public expense. These people usually study in Swedish universities for one or two years according to bilateral agreements, and then return to China as scheduled. The other type is self-funded students who study for a degree. These people generally graduated from domestic universities and worked for one, two or three years. I applied for and was admitted as a graduate student in Swedish university. Swedish institutions of higher learning have the right to decide their own teaching contents and methods, and have their own special requirements and admission standards for foreign graduate students. Postgraduate courses are taught in English, and students must have a high level of English and a TOEFL score of at least 550. Most people need to study for one or two years to get a master's degree, and many people go on to study for a doctorate after getting this degree. Whether a master student can get a scholarship is completely decided by the relevant institutions, and doctoral students generally have rich scholarships. ? Studying in Sweden is similar to going to America. First, find the website of the university from the Internet, find the major that suits you, then download the application form and prepare the recommendation letter. The application for autumn semester must be completed before April of that year 15, and the application for admission for spring semester must be completed before June of the previous year 10. If you want to go to Sweden for postgraduate study, you must have a domestic bachelor's degree with a TOEFL score of 550 or above, preferably a professional counterpart; If you want to study undergraduate, you must pass the Swedish TISUS exam; If you want to study for a doctorate, it is mainly to gain the trust of Swedish professors, and most of them can get paid in Sweden.
