entry requirements to Swedish university for British student?
I want to go to university in Sweden, it says one of the qualifications required for entry is the Swedish mathematic A. Would a maths GCSE cover this for a British student, and what grade would I need? I have D grade maths GCSE, would I need to retake and get a higher grade? Also, what is the minimum number of A-Levels required for Swedish university entrance, I've been told you need either 2 A-Levels or 4 AS-Levels, can anyone confirm this?

I don't quite know how your GCSE's and A-levels work but I've translated this from the Swedish board of higher education's website. Education which includes at least 3 subjects in GCSE/IGCSE (General Certificate of Secondary Education/International General Certificate of Secondary Education) and at least 2 subjects in GCE A level (General Certificate, Advanced level), total of 5 subjects, will give basic qualification for university/college education in Sweden. Also other combinations of subjects in GCSE and GCE can give basic qualification: 2 A levels + 3 GCSE (5 different subjects) 1 A level + 2 AS levels + 3 GCSE (6 different subjects) 4 AS levels + 3 GCSE (7 different subjects) 3 A levels + 1 GCSE (4 different subjects) 2 A levels + 2 AS levels + 1 GCSE (5 different subjects) 1 A level + 4 AS levels + 1 GCSE (6 different subjects) I needed the Swedish equivalent of at least Maths grade C when I applied for uni, but I cannot say what is needed for international applicants, but I would guess that you need at least a C. I also found these contact details for questions about foreign grades The Admissions Office Stockholm University SE-106 91 Stockholm Sweden Phone: + 46 (0)8 16 49 89 (Tuesdays between 10.00 and 12.00) Fax: + 46 (0)8 16 13 97 E-mail: study@studadm.su.se

Finland is very popular amongst exchange students, at least there are lots and lots of them in the universities, so why not choose Finland as well!

Norway is a great country for stuff to do i spent a lot of time there whilst backpacking, I found it more interesting than sweden. moreover i met some students from stockholm i all i got from them was a sense of negativity about sweden. I don't know about finland. Either way though they are all very expensive.

What country would be best as an exchange student?
What country would be best as an exchange student?
My dad wants to send me to a foriegn country for a year with an an exchange program. He's letting me pick the country but I'm stuck between 3. Sweden, Ireland, and Germany. I'm fluent in German and English so I don't know if I'll be able to do Sweden even though most of them speak English. Money isn't an issue and I'm outgoing, curious and a straight A student. So which country should I go to if I'm excepted into a program.

You should definitely go to Sweden, it is great! Everyone speaks English since they learn the language at an early age in school. There are many English speaking programs with exchange students in Sweden as well. It is a very clean, environmentally friendly country, and Swedes, especially in Malmo, and Gothenburg, located more south-west in Sweden are very nice people. There are tons of things for you to do while you are visiting. If you decided to go to Malmo make sure to go visit Denmark as well, which is located just across the Baltic Sea, or even more precisely, the strait called Öresund, that separates the Danish island Zealand from the southern Swedish province of Scania. You can visit Denmark, Copenhagen by taking a bridge called “Öresundsbronâ€, by either a car or the train. Here are some links for you, so that you can read more about Sweden and some of the above mentioned cities.

What are good laws to know if traveling to Sweden?
What are good laws to know if traveling to Sweden?
I plan to travel to Sweden at some point, (Was thinking about being a foreign exchange student there) and I was wondering if there are any laws that are helpful to know? I really don't want to get arrested for anything by accident just from not knowing that I am breaking the law, and I can't find any law books online :/
