Programs designed for foreigners

Where to get information?

For many years Swedish universities are participating more in exchange programs, this has increased the number of foreign students.
The very active student associations can help you through the different processes. Ask for their address and phone numbers at the chosen Swedish university.
Information (and addresses of all the universities) can be found on the web site of the Swedish Cultural Center: www.si.se/e_studiersverig/1139.cs?dirid=1306

Programs:
It is possible to take classes in English, which permits foreign students who do not have any notion of Swedish, to follow short training sessions.
More and more universities are offering classes in English, and certain classes are reserved for students registered in exchange programs. The teaching covers various areas. These classes demand a good level of English. For further information contact the Swedish university.

Master’s degree programs are offered entirely in English.
