Why choose Nordic Countries for your International Education
Posted date: 10 Feb 2021
The Nordic nations, celebrated for their beautiful scenery, their world-class education system and high quality of life, are a destination like no other. Although containing just 4% of the European population, the five countries form the seventh largest region in the world. Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Finland and Iceland provide foreign students with a rare experience of education steeped in rich culture and history. Here are the top 5 factors in the Nordic countries for studying.
Finland
The education system of Finland has been ranked among the very best in the world. They're standards for higher education. Finland is a great place to learn with creative teaching strategies, an invested government, an emphasis on transferable skills, a dedication to research and development, and a variety of English language coursework.
Sweden
Lauded for rigorous but well-designed curricula, Sweden's academic institutions regularly hold top rankings, both in Europe and internationally. Swedish degrees, particularly in the fields of business and technology, are internationally coveted. In fact, because of the job opportunities that await them when they graduate, many foreign students who choose to study in Sweden do so primarily.
Iceland
The list of viewing spots tops Iceland. From glacier trekking to whale watching, outdoor enthusiasts can also enjoy everything. International students make up a mere 5% of the student population at seven universities in Iceland — four public and three private. However, as universities are gradually seeking to draw more international students with everything from expanded English language courses to popular support networks for students living abroad, this is likely to change.
Norway
If your endgame is to live well, then look no further than Norway. Norway is consistently ranked by the UN at the top of its annual list of the best countries in terms of global income, education, health and safety. Although Norway is often recognized for its rich past, thanks to a national mindset which prioritizes information, technology and innovation, it has an equally bright future.
Denmark
Denmark's premier system of higher education focuses on converting information into solutions. Although traditional lectures remain part of the curriculum, skills that cross over to the real world in a creative and practical manner are industrial cooperation and autonomous initiative. With more than 500 degree programs and a whopping 1,300 courses taught in English, students looking to polish their English skills while studying abroad have almost unlimited possibilities.
As premier international study destinations, Nordic countries may not automatically come to mind. But, many forward-thinking foreign students in the recent times prefer to look beyond traditional choices and think Nordic while contemplating their study options abroad.
