2007-2008 is my last bachelor academic year. I will get my degree this summer.

In January 2008, I have started a page on my former blog, concerning the process of applying to Masters at Swedish Universities. Quite unexpectedly there has been a lot of interest, and comments have been flowing from people wanting to study in Sweden as you see by looking at the PDF archives of the stream: part 1, part 2, part 3.

Today, I’m taking a step forward by moving the topic on my “new online home” and by slowly taking the discussions to a nice framework - a Facebook page.

Please read carefully the lines bellow, as it may become useful for you as a prospective student to Swedish Academics, especially if you do that through studera.nu (the National Admissions Office).

Introduction

I’m going to focus on the application process to Masters since this is my factual experience, but the process for getting into undergraduate studies or apply for individual courses can be very similar.

Starting 2007, Sweden has a centralized system that works with most of the universities. You register online, you choose your desired courses/programmes and then you send your documents only to the National Admissions Office. This system has been in place for Swedes for some years now, but 2007 was the first for international students. Read more about this here.

So you have a central office called the National Admissions Office. This office will take care of both your online application and your paper documents that are required by the programmes.

The office is reachable online at http://studera.nu , hence the title of this page.

Several hundreds of prospective students
to Higher Studies in Sweden
joined a Facebook community
and share events, talks and news.
They are waiting for you!
