Advantages of studying in northern Europe

(1) Benefits 1: Studying in Northern Europe is cost-effective.

Until now, Norwegian public schools still implement the policy of free tuition. The other three countries (Sweden, Denmark, Finland) have started to charge tuition fees for non-EU students, but the overall tuition standard is very close to the people, with an average of about 80,000 RMB per academic year.

Compared with the hundreds of thousands of fees charged by Britain and the United States every year, the fees charged by Nordic universities can be said to be very Buddha. At the same time, it can be said responsibly that in countries with the same education quality and development level, the tuition standard in Northern Europe should be the lowest.

(2) Benefit 2: The application for studying in Northern Europe is very standardized.

The enrollment system and application process of Nordic universities are very transparent and efficient, and the required materials are also very concise. Of course, with the popularity of Nordic universities in recent years, the difficulty of being successfully admitted to study in Northern Europe is also increasing year by year. However, as long as they work hard, students can still apply to top universities.

(3) Benefit 3: The employment rate of studying abroad in Northern Europe is high.

With the quality of students studying in northern Europe getting higher and higher, the employment rate of international students in the local area has actually been steadily increasing in recent years. Through our horizontal comparison (the comparison of the employment rate of international students with the same quality in Britain, America and Northern Europe)

We found that as long as China students have a certain working ability and actively absorb and master the local culture, under such circumstances, it is no big problem for China to study abroad and find a suitable job in Northern Europe.

At the same time, the four Nordic countries (except Denmark) have introduced talent introduction policies, so that students studying in local doctoral programs can obtain local permanent residency after reaching a certain number of years. Moreover, in the Nordic doctoral program, students not only don't need to pay tuition fees, but the school will also pay students, which is also in line with the local living standards.

However, after the introduction of such an excellent policy, it attracted many international students studying in Europe and America, and it became more and more difficult for Nordic doctors to apply. However, there are advantages for international students who have finished their undergraduate and master's degrees in Northern Europe!

(4) Benefit 4: The Nordic academic qualifications are highly recognized.

First of all, the university education in Northern Europe is recognized by the Ministry of Education of China. Most importantly, the international recognition of Nordic education is very high. Under the same application conditions, a Nordic undergraduate degree can apply to a very good international prestigious school.

Extended data:

More than 90% degree courses in Nordic universities are taught in local languages (such as Norwegian, Swedish, Danish, etc.). ).

With the internationalization of higher education in northern Europe in recent years, some Nordic universities have also offered some degree courses, mainly master's degree courses, taught in English for international students. International students who apply for these courses do not need to provide their Nordic language scores to the school, but only need to provide internationally recognized TOEFL or IELTS scores to the school.

Nordic universities generally start in September every year and end in June of the following year.
