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.

Get a list of Swedish universities that offer geotechnical engineering, and do research in a field related to your intended PhD. Then contact these universities with a proposal of the PhD topic that you intend to pursue. This will be your best approach. Hope this helps.

Should students in the USA be allowed to grade teachers on effort?
Should students in the USA be allowed to grade teachers on effort?
In Sweden students are allowed to give their teachers reports to see where improvement is needed and what can be done. Keep in mind Sweden has a higher literacy rate than the USA. Think about it......

I know in college students fill out surveys about their professors, and schools use that.
2 :
Colleges in america do this. But think about it -- a kid doesn't do their work, gets a bad grade and hates the teacher because of it -- not exactly an impartial way of getting feedback.
3 :
In Sweden they also get home schooled until they are 7 (I think it's seven), they have a MUCH BETTER work ethic, it's not the same in other parts of the world.
4 :
I'm sure the teachers unions have very specific clauses in their contracts that prevent such critiques of their performance. After all, isn't that what "workers rights" are all about?
5 :
its not really the teachers fault if the dumbass kids don't want to pay attention and learn, in california the highschools are full of gang members, wannabe gang members, pot smoking hippies, girls getting preggo from left to right, etc, just all around bad stuff happens in schools. how about cleaning them up and kick all the bad kids out, before we work on the teachers. just an answer.
6 :
In Sweden teachers are allowed to keep order in class and students have consequences when they do not do school work or disrupt class. The more centralized government, uniform social expectations, lend themselves to a much better educational environment. It is not realistic to completely toe someone's hands in regard to work performance, then grade performance and find fault. There are very good reasons why Nordic countries are considered to be the best places to live.

At the College I go to the student do grade the teacher, at high school the students do grade the teachers. I lower grades the parents grade the teachers. Keep in mind students chose their classes in college and drop classes or withdraw from teachers that are overly insane with homework. Keep in mind, high school students sign up for good teachers first and then are forced to take bad teachers when there is no room left in the good teachers classes. As keep in mind as parents we ask for teachers and avoid others for our children Please keep in mind that even if a teacher is completely incompetent they cannot be fired becuase of the unions

Yes this is true that studying in sweden is free but consider one thing that only study is free and you have to bear the expenses of your accomodation, food, study material, telecommunication, clothing, travelling etc. These things are too much costly here in Sweden.
