Description

The Sweden program offers students the opportunity to enroll at Vaxjo University in a wide range of courses taught in English in a variety of disciplines. Students have the option of taking "Beginners' Swedish Language for International Students" in addition to their normal study program. This helps to better assimilate the student into Swedish life. Vaxjo, with approximately 80,000 inhabitants, is the capital of the Kronoberg region in southeastern Sweden and is an important trading center known for its high-tech industry, paper and furniture manufacturing. It is located in the heart of the "Kingdom of Crystal", so-called because world famous glassworks such as Kosta Boda and Orrefors are located there. The area around Vaxjo has forests, pristine lakes, hiking trails and unspoiled countryside, making it an attractive area for students who love wildlife and the outdoors.
