Top Reasons to Study in Sweden

In this section, we are going to be talking about the top reasons to study in Sweden. 

Everybody speaks English

Though the official language of the country is Swedish, however, a vast majority of Swedes also speak English, generally to a very high level.

Many Swedish multinational organizations have English as their corporate language, and a large number of university degree programs and courses are taught in English.

Cultural Confluence

The country is home to an indigenous population of students and is one of the friendliest countries on the global map. Just like their education, the country takes its students very seriously and sees no anti-social harm come their way. The country is a warm and friendly country where international students are not faced with any anti-social comments or behaviors. The country is also one of the safest countries for students and citizens alike. Hence, parents can be relieved when sending their students to a foreign country to study and Sweden is a safe haven for students and citizens alike.

Innovation Hub

Home to Spotify, Skype, and the three-point seatbelt, Sweden is a pioneer in innovation on all standards. It is a country that invests significantly in R&D and is home to a number of innovations and technology that we use today to make our lives simpler. Hence, the country is a hot study abroad destination for engineers and innovators alike for whom technology is their morning cup of tea. The country is home to innovations such as Assa Abloy, Electrolux, Ericsson, Essity, H&M, IKEA, Skanska, Spotify, Vattenfall, and Volvo to name a few.

Internships and jobs

The country in a move to welcome new students to their colleges has laid down student-friendly policies for the benefit of international students. These include part-time work options on Sweden student visas for international students, post-study work options for students. International students who successfully graduate from Swedish colleges can also be a part of the thriving jobs market in Sweden.

So, coming back to where I started off with how the country describes itself beautifully in 26 letters, let me tell you what each letter of the English alphabet holds for Sweden.
