For those that can afford it, why not consider studying in Sweden? Facilities are state-of-the art and the standard is superb. I did my M.Sc in Sweden without paying a dime. In fact in my University, we were allowed to make prints, copies, fax and scan free. During exhibitions, you can get enough writing materials to take you for your entire study period. You can pick books free- books that would be in reserve section in Nigerian Universities.
Another good thing is that residence permit decisions are made in Sweden (Linköping) and not in aAbuja Nobody can influence the decision, not even the ambassador in Abuja Once you merit it, you get it. The only problem is that you will take care of your accommodation and feeding. Jobs are scarce, but with effort, you will secure something. Whats the name of the school in sweden and why would sweden be better when English is not the first language or should i say the official language |

@ashiwaju,
Some courses have english as the medium of instruction in Sweden. However, if you wish to study medicine or other competitive courses, you will be required to study and pass Swedish language for one year. Swedes are great in English. 85% of Swedes speak good english. I studied Chemistry in Nigeria, at undergrad level, but when I got there, I discovered we are no where. We don't have simple functional laboratory instruments in Nigeria. No reagents!
All Univerisites in Sweden are opening up to international students. But there is a possibility that tuition fee might be introduced soon, just as they did in Denmark recently. So hurry now!!!

Most Nigerians find it hard to believe when we tell them how easy it is to study in Sweden. You don't give anybody a dime for tuition fee, but you must provide for your accommodation and living expenses. You don't have to go through any agency to apply for admission or visa. All you have to do is to complete the institution's online forms, or a hard copy of the application forms. Decisions are made based on the pre-requisite to the programmes you wish to study. Once you meet the requirement, jump up, you are already in Sweden. As soon of you get your admission letter, proceed to the Swedish embassy in asokoro, Abuja with 2 set of photocopies of all your results and the completed visa application form (on http://www.migrationsverket.se/english.jsp). Many people are rejected based on financial statement. You have to prove that you will have access to about 68,000. 00 Swedish kronor (one Swedish kronor = about 18 naira) for 10 months in a year. You don't pay for accommodation during the 2 months summer holiday. Sweden is such a beautiful country. There are many Nigerians presently studying in Sweden, especially in Uppsala, Malmo and Linköping universities. Umea University offers so many Business Masters programmes suitable for graduates of social sciences. Undergraduate courses are limited, but Umeå University, Darlana university and a few others offer programmes like international business programme. However, if you want to study other programmes at the undergraduate level, you will have to write and pass a swSwedishanguage test. Recently, most universities now insist that students from west Africa submit waec scratch card. The transcripts must be sent directly from the issuing institutions. It didn't use to be so until it was discovered that most transcripts and results emanating from Nigerian and Cameroon are fake. I didn't know anybody when in applied to study in Sweden. I spent nights on the internet, checking out schools, not scamming. I got my visa without stress and today, I have completed my masters degree in Sweden. Another advantage is that you can easy apply for visas to UK, or USA for further studies if you have what it takes. I have done same and I'm presently studying London. @kolahinmi, Luleå offers msc in civil and other engengineeringogrammes. follow the link below http://www.ltu.se/eng/master_prog/master_programmes06.pdfGetting a job as an international student in Sweden is a bit difficult. Sweden is a welfare country. It's citizens are extensively taken care of. Besides not paying for tuition, every sweSwedishudent recreceives to 6,500 kronor monthly. All EU and exchange students also receive bursary award of about 2,000 kronor monthly. In terms of job, it seems students who study in places like Stockholm and Gotherborg fare better. Most students in Malmo work in Denmark as the permit issued to students allow them access to other schengen countries. So as ashiwaju rightly said, why not consider studying in Sweden  |

@walcot. Unfortunately, i'm not sure any swedish school offers a masters of architecture in english. I know the royal institute of technology in stockholm offers a 2 years masters programme in architecture, but it is solely in swedish. You may consider applying for architectural lighting design. it's only 60 ECT whereas masters of architecture in the same school is 180 credits. Read about the european credit transfer and accumulative credit system. Follow the link below if you want to apply for the 60 credits course. Application starts next month and end early february for courses starting august next year (confirm please, i'm not very sure). http://www.kth.se/eng/education/programmes/master_english/index.html@ehiwere. Keep the spirit high, and you will achieve whatever you want to. I understand how lousy our institutions can be in terms of sending the transcripts of their students. It is an unfortunate situation. Your transcript is the most important document needed before being admitted to a masters programme. Talk to your department about it. I'm sure they can hurry it up. As I earlier said, the application period is between august and early february for courses starting august/september next year. I wish you luck with your nysc and transcript. @Idekeson. Nice idea. Include Denmark and Finland in your expedition. Those blond, blue eyed, and slim girls are wonderfully cool |

Go to www.findaschool.orgCLick on sweden, to the best of my knowledge most of the masters courses are free but after 2007, you'll start paying. when you get to a swedish website, click on the In ENglish Icon (usually british flag) to browse the site in English. Good luck. |

Ashiwaju, u have paved d way for all the Naija guys to see opportunity to go to Sweden. I've noticed this issue with people living in naija-- they can't do research them selves. They have read all d comments on what sweden has to offer, why not they go and do a private search on it themselves; they'll be amazed at what they will find. They want to be fed. Please guys when u get to Sweden, be good ambassadors. Remember if u make the govt to stop certain free things u have only denied others behind u from benefitting. Others went in front of u; so go clean and leave it open for others behind. , God bless Swden,

Mr Ashiwaju, what type of visa the person dey on  because i think if you no get permanent resident visa or green card, i think the statement you made that the guy didn't pay a dime to study in any school in Sweden is incorrect  . |
