Yes, international students studying in Sweden can work while studying. Please note that, students from the EU/EEA and Switzerland have the right to work in Sweden without a work permit. However, non-EU/EEA international students allowed to work part-time during their studies for up to 20 hours per week, and full-time during scheduled breaks. The study permit to Sweden allows international students to work-while studying in Swedish universities. There are plenty of jobs for international students in Sweden such as tutor, waiter, receptionist, etc.

No, you do need to know Swedish when studying in Sweden because the majority of programs at Swedish universities are taught in English. However, it is always good idea to learn little bit of Swedish, because that will help you to interact well with the local and integrate well with the Swedish society. The majority of postgraduate programs in Swedish universities are offered in English language and that makes Swedish universities very attractive among international students. However, international students need to demonstrate their proficiency in the English language.

Swedish universities offer various programs taught in English langauge. Therefore, international students applying to programs in Swedish universities taught in English are required to demonstrate their proficiency in English language. Besides, IELTS international students can also submit test scores of TOEFL, PTE and Duolingo. The minimum English language requirements for international students vary from programme to program and university to university in Sweden. Therefore, international students should check the minimum English language requirement for their programme at their university's website.

Study visa for Sweden has been broadly divided into two different types of visas a person can apply for when planning to go to Sweden. A person intending to travel to Sweden for recreational purposes would apply for a Schengen Visa. This is essentially a visa that is valid for three months. Since all visa applications are sent to Sweden, the student visa is processed in about 90 days. However, it might take longer and you are advised to start the process as soon as possible.
