Applying to Scandinavian Universities


Recommended Posts

Hello, I would some help to know how difficult is to be accepted as an international Undergraduate student in Norwagian, Swedish o Danish Univerties?

I was looking at Lund University, Umea Unersity,Stockholm School of Economics and Stockholm University in Sweden, Aarhus University, aalborg university and Copenhagen School of Economics in Denamark related to Business administration degree and University of Oslo in the Media studies Bachelor degree.

The programmes that I saw where taught in English minus the one from University of Oslo, based on my information do you guys think that I can be accepted in one of those universities? Is there anything that I can do to raise my chances?

Some information:
My High school Gpa 2.71 (b-) (In the American system of grades)
I am looking for Business administration.
I study in a good Business University here in Brazil and my gpa is 9.0 ( the maximun is 10,0)
I am learning German and I will take the Testdaf (test to show your level in German) next year 
I know Portuguese ( my native Languague), English (My toefl ibt score was 110) and Spanish advanced
I have been working for 1 year now

Thanks in advance

I looked into some grad programs, so i am not sure how applicable what i have to say is for an undergrad program.

 

It seems Sweden in recent years has shifted preferences towards EU nations and away from the rest of the world. Finland still seems to keep the door open to non-EU students, and I have not looked into Norwegian or Danish programs. 

 

I do not know enough on their entry requirements or any of those other factors, so that is all I have to share.

Squeaxy,

 

From what you say, it looks like you are already in an Undergraduate Program - where your GPA is 9/10.

 

If that is so, I think your profile is good enough to be admitted to a good Graduate Program in Business Studies if you apply closer to completing your Undergraduate Studies. 

 

Try to get some internship or volunteer work or some kind of work experience as well, to strengthen your application, although they usually are aware that students from developing countries don't have that many opportunities and hence, it shouldn't matter much that you don't have work experience.

 

PS - But you also say you have been working for 1 year. if this is work experience, your profile is fine for Graduate admission.

Thank you for the answer.

I am looking for an undergraduate program, I started university here because most European universities require at  least 1 year of university studies for students who finished High School outside Europe
