Can you attend college part-time in Sweden or Denmark?


Can you attend college part-time in Sweden or Denmark?
I would be an international guest or non-exchange student wanting to take a couple classes during one semester. Is that possible? I haven't found any specific information about part-time studies on the universities' websites. I am specifically looking at University of Copenhagen, Lund University, and Aarhus University.

In Sweden you can. Check out www.studyinsweden.se

There are lots of part time courses in Swedish universities. Most of them are taught in Swedish though, so if you want to study courses taught in English I'm not sure how much you will find. Probably you will find some, at least. Try finding the answers you want at http://www.studyinsweden.se/Home/

In general citizens of India need a Direct Airport Transit Visa (DATV) even if they stay within the international area of a British airport. The visa requirement however is waived for those holding a valid Schengen type D visa or a Swedish residence permit (Sverige Uppehållstillstånd).

Not usually but it may depend on the university. Some universities have Swedish courses available. A number of academic courses (edit: I mean, apart from swedish courses)are actually held in English so that overseas students can actually study here. In general, if a person moves to Sweden and resides here in Sweden, free daily Swedish courses are available (SFI - Svenska för invandrare http://www.sfi.su.se/eng.html) and used to be compulsory but are not generally available for students - although one girl in my class was a Polish doctor who had been invited over to Sweden to work here - and she attended SFI for a year before attending a medical course at university. This involves attending a school/centre to learn Swedish through immersion in the language. Everything said in class is in Swedish. Classes have around 20 people from all over the word. When I moved here from Scotland, my other class mates were from Afghanistan, Serbia, Bosnia, Russia, Japan, Poland, Iraq, Iran, England, Canada and the US. In general, it takes the best part of a year to pick up some basic Swedish and several years to be fluent - though obviously people are all different. i have noticed that people from Holland and Germany take a much shorter time to learn Swedish and people from English speaking countries take a lot longer. I moved here in 2002 and work as a church minister in Sweden, preaching regularly in swedish. This past year has been the first year that I would actually consider myself fluent in Swedish and can now be involved in counselling people (and can now read between the lines too). Update: it would be good to know where you plan to study because, as I said earlier, certain universities may offer swedish courses but some overseas students sometimes choose to enrol in Komvux evening courses that offer elementary courses in Swedish. I meant to say that it is also dependent on the municipality (kommun) where you will be staying as it is the kommun that arranges most of these courses. Most of the websites are just in swedish so it's hard to get information unless you ask more specific questions here and give more specific information about where and what you will be studying. That would make it possible for those of us here on YA who live in Sweden to give you more help.
