Studying in either Sweden, Norway, or Finland as an International Student?
Studying in either Sweden, Norway, or Finland as an International Student?
I heard that schools in these three European countries are free; about 50 Euros per year fees plus the obvious living costs: rent, insurance, and board etc... my major is English literature. I want to master in related areas in one of the three countries. Which one has a better university in terms of literature, or in other words humanities? Do you know if I can master in law with my BA in English in one of the three countries? Thank you

I think most of them have stopped free education for out-of-country students. Try contacting the embassy to be sure.

There are no tuition fees, but the living expenses are very high in all 3 countries the University in Oslo recommends around 42,000kr for a single semester and you are required to show that you have funds of over 100,000 kr (around $15,000) if your on a 12 month masters program, and you will need it. This is on top of all your travel expenses, moving your possessions and the cost of setting up home for just a year. It's not cheap or easy and the culture shock can be significant. Not sure that you'll be able to study a masters in Law with an English literature major. You also need to recognize that the area of study will be international law so you have to ask how relevant that is to you. The sites give links to the relevant programs, as to the quality I'm not sure how you judge on a English Masters given in a non English speaking part of the world.
