Study Abroad Programs in Sweden

There is something Sweden does even better than IKEA, ABBA, and H&M (and no, it’s not capitalizing everything). If you haven’t heard yet, Sweden is one of the premier study abroad destinations in the world. Sweden has a lot of the elements that typically lure international students: natural beauty, chic cosmopolitan cities, a welcoming culture, and lots of travel opportunities within the country as well as to neighboring European nations. But, the country also has an innovative education system and a highly developed economy, making study abroad in Sweden a uniquely beneficial learning experience.

A Guide to Studying Abroad in Sweden

Locations

Forget all your ideas about Sweden being blanketed in snow all year round. Sweden actually enjoys year-round temperate climate in the south and warmer summers in the north. Favorable climate and limestone-rich bedrock pave the way for strikingly beautiful flora and animals, including wolves and bears in the north and wild boars and roe deer in the south.

If you want to experience a bustling metropolitan scene, then you must head straight to the city of Stockholm. Sometimes referred to as the “Venice of the North,” Stockholm offers a picturesque scene that sprawls across 14 islands. You will never run out of things to do, with its rich cultural heritage, innovative cuisine, and impressive music and art scene. If you study abroad in Stockholm your courses will surely include excursions to some of its many museums, art galleries, or music venues too.

Cafes line the Dutch-style canals and leafy boulevards of Gothenburg, while trams rattle up and down streets, and a lively art and music scene feeds the appetites of culture-hungry students. Harnessing its seaside location, Gothenburg serves up fresh seafood, ship-spotted waterfront strolls, and museums with everything sea-related.

A vibrant university town, Uppsala meshes a party vibe with a wealth of history and the accompanying historical buildings. Its Scandinavian beauty shines through the elegant streets of neo-classical architecture, Sweden’s oldest cathedral, and the captivating riverfront. One of the fastest growing cities in the country, Uppsala is an exciting place to study abroad in Sweden.

Amazing Experience In Paris

Program: Study Abroad and Discover the World with AIFS!

When I decided I wanted to go abroad, I was nervous about a lot of things. First off, I was scared that when I went abroad I would have to settle for a location I did not want to be in because I needed my credits to transfer over. Luckily AIFS had a program in a wonderful city with a bunch of classes that would transfer back to my home university super well. When I chose this program, I was overjoyed but nervous about living in a homestay. When I got there I was happily surprised to find that my host family was amazing and provided me with an experience I would not have been able to have if I had been in a dorm/apt. The people that I met in the program were some of the coolest people I have ever known and am happy to call them my friends to this day. If you are looking for a great program in Paris where you have the freedom to meet new people, travel, and find yourself in a new place, I would 100% recommend this to you!
