Swedish universities are consistently ranked among the world leaders in higher education. There are over 1 000 degree programmes in English, and 39 universities to choose from, meaning there is something out there for everyone.

With a focus on academic excellence and a commitment to maintaining high standards, Sweden is a great destination for students seeking a world-class educational experience.
Coming here as an international student also opens countless of opportunities. The Swedish government recognizes the importance of innovation and entrepreneurship, which has led to significant steps to support Sweden as an innovation hub. In fact, Sweden ranks 1st globally in the Global Entrepreneurship Index. IKEA, Spotify, and Minecraft – did you know they are Swedish? Stockholm is also one of the biggest ‘Unicorn’ factories in the world and produces the most million-dollar start-ups per capita, after Silicon Valley.
Equality and freedom are important values in Sweden and higher education is guided by the motto ‘freedom with responsibility’. Great emphasis is put on students exploring their own way of learning, application of skills, teamwork, and critical thinking.
Today, Sweden is one of the most equal countries in the world, supporting LGBTQ+ rights and gender equality. Students of all backgrounds are welcome, no matter of gender, religion, ethnicity, or socioeconomic background.
