I’ll like to believe this thread is about studying in Sweden and not setting up a business.. like I said I’m going to Sweden for a masters program

So you want to open a business in sweden?

Please, I am applying for Umea University and below is my application and tuition fee:

Application fee SEK 900
Tuition fee, first instalment SEK 23,250
Total fee SEK 23,250

Please, what does the above mean? Does it mean the first intalment is SEK 23, 250 and once I paid that I will not need to pay another fee or it is just for a Semester (my course is a one year Masters course)

Or Does the total fee of SEK 23,250 means the total fee or all the fee I am going to pay for the duration of the cost (for the one year masters )?

I am a bit confused and I need your help. I went through all the thread and realise this the cheapest fee I have found and I dont know if I am missing something.

Thank you.

There’s no program with such semester tuition rate in sweden. The cheapest is around 34,000sek. You must have applied to an individual course (that is part of a one year programme). Check properly or drop a link here for clarification.

I think you are correct. I just checked again. Here is the link https://www.umu.se/en/education/courses/human-rights-law/

I think it is part of this Master programme;

Master's Programme in Constitutional Law and Human Rights60 Credits, Umeå University, Location: Umeå
Course/programme information
First tuition fee instalment: 46,500 SEK*
Total tuition fee: 93,000 SEK*

One more question, will the SEK 46,500 be substracted from the total tuition fee SEK 93,000? Does SEK 93,000 cover the entire tuition fee for the one year programme? Here is the link https://www.umu.se/en/education/master/master-program-in-constitutional-law-and-human-rights

Thank you for your help.

God bless you!

Yes, it will be subtracted from the total tuition. However, I advise you to study a (2) year program than (1) year in Sweden.

With (1) year, you only get 10 months visa which disqualifies you from getting a PERSONAL NUMBER. Without this number, it’s more like you don’t exist in the system. Accessing services or even finding work is a hassle.

But the most important advise, why come to sweden to study law? You have to be 100% fluent in Swedish to practise in that area, and you have to go through the license process. 10 months program will not give you the time, & you will be stranded. The rules for work permit is also changing, we don’t know yet what they will implement but government wants to crack down on eg things like masters graduate doing restaurant work just to get permit. Basically about employers abusing work rights for desperate permit seekers.

So if you think about it, is it really paying 93,000sek with so much uncertainties on how to stay back after studies? Why not consider the uk where you get 2 years post study that’s buys you enough time to sort yourself? 93,000sek is like 9,300 euros…. If you add a little more money you can find a low cost uni in Uk.
From Uk, throw your net on Canada EE or other immigration routes if they’re still on.. before 3-4 years if your stay, you will get a response. That’s if you don’t already even find a job to extend your stay in Uk. Just my opinion but Goodluck

You are right regarding not having personal number but there is also coordination number and this can be gotten to be used to work. 2yr program has its advantages and disadvantages.

Disadvantages:
Very expensive and time consuming, it takes longer time to process your PR cos it starts counting after your studies
The educational system is so different compared to Nigerian own and requires lot of time and effort before adapting. Most of the people here na DIY be their motto.

Advantages:
Personal number which is like social security number can be used for anything, hospital, work etc but also coordination number is applicable which is given to 1yr program students

As for finding work, some companies give contract letter that can be submitted to apply for coordination number

You can also apply for coordination number for banking services

Every country has its own flaws, UK has limited working hours while studying, the bills are crazy, after the 2yrs post study, there is uncertainty. The bills might take away the money he is paid from working with little savings left

@jerobans, target a school in the capital (Stockholm) or populous city like Gothenburg or Malmo. Make sure you have the 93k SEK complete. Have UK as backup plan if u really want Sweden. Have soft skills, it will make your adaptation easier. There is 1yr post study visa in Sweden

1) Coordination number is quite useless in sweden, say it as it is. That is a baseless reason to go for a one year programme.

2) 1 year or 2 years doesn’t matter for PR, that’s bullshit as study years don’t count in sweden. So how does it take longer? Nothing stops the person from switching to work permit after year one … at least by then you have a personal number, IDkort, BankID etc

3) Sweden is as expensive as uk. There is uncertainty? What’s someone doing for 2 whole years that they won’t find a job to prolong their stay? That must be an unserious fellow.
Working part time unlimited in sweden with the academic system you mentioned shows you’re only working because it’s totally impossible to combine both, get good grades and have reasonable salary at the end of the month. Be more transparent with your analysis

4) post study visa that it takes 5-6 months before MV responds + you have to show living expenses x 12 months. When they finally respond, they issue it for the remaining length of stay applicable. You talked about uncertainty in the uk? What’s the certainty that this person will get a job with the new work permit rules coming later this year in sweden?

The major thing is give him hints to help him achieve his desire, ur advise is ok but there are ways around in Sweden too. It is ok if u don’t know cos most people don’t know much about Sweden. Swedish educational system beats UK. UK is after your money, Sweden isn’t. There is even option of changing your 2 yrs study to 1 yr, people are doing that and he would have gotten personal number. Information is power in Sweden. If u are not well informed, the Swedes won’t give u the information except 1 out of 100 and that is if u are lucky to meet the nicest of them most especially the females. If u have coordination number, u have bank account, u have job, u are a bit ok cos most people do leave Nigeria to get jobs. We are in this thread to help people, other foreign country threads do not advise people to change their desires, they give tips to make it seamless for upcoming people.

I have read the whole pages and everything that mr Ikswiss said is the truth about Sweden. I have lived in sweden all my life and can testify that I don’t even feel like a swede

The way people here are bashing someone for speaking their truth is unbelievably insane and frankly speaking, I don’t see any thing abt his message been discouraging.

Please where and how does Swedish education system beats the Uk?

Please can you explain how someone can cut his education from 2 years to 1 year?

From my understanding I know we don’t have summer classes and follow one education system unlike the USA or Canada.

Education is power and also an investment, one can’t invest in something that won’t yield any dividends. If I was to study anything I will make my research extensively before proceeding.

I won’t move from Nigeria to China to study something that will require me to communicate mandarin when I can afford to study the same thing in my native tongue and with that I’m guaranteed a job because I can easily adapt.

They are not after your money, they want to make sure you know it very well, UK low tuition fees school will patch u. Mind you, I am comparing the schools based on paying the same amount or slightly different for tuition fees.

As for the 2yrs to 1yr, it depends on the school and u need to speak with the program counselor. If you have some schools in mind, attend their tutoring sessions for prospective students, ask questions, it will inform your next steps

They not after your money but asked students to pay school fees? Bro let’s be honest to people on here, the same tuition you pay here you can find a cheaper university in the Uk and do the same thing. The UK left the eu permanently few months ago and before that the education system was the same European standard education. I believe education is not just about going to school, we should also talk abt work, mental health and other areas of livelihood. I have lived in Glasgow and Birmingham and met Nigerians, Ghanaians and other Africans working in public sectors without prejudice which we don’t find here in Sweden.

I know for sure the only way you can cut your studies short in Sweden is if you have done some of the courses in your previous studies and only then you can take some of the courses out from your curriculum. Correct me if I’m wrong with a proof.

Bro I get what you saying, but tips don’t necessary have to be your views.
You are the one comparing education standard and I only asked for proof and state my own idea.
Are you concerned about people sharing their ideas on public forums?

Do people have to adhere your believe without asking questions?

Don’t compare Asians to Nigerians as you don’t know their stories.

Asians are dominating in the labour market and it can be argued that 99% of them come to Sweden to study programs that are needed in the labour market while 1% of them can afford to further their education else where after their studies here.


Please people are not advised to come to
Sweden, people are advised to keep their options open and to make the right decisions on what to study in regards to Sweden. If all people do is come
Here with a positive story won’t you ask question ?

People complain a lot about Nigeria and how bad the government are treating its citizens whereas some people in the same country are praising the government everyday.


Please as I said, we are all here to learn and your view it’s yours and mine it’s mine. I’m speaking my truth and you can’t take that away from me.
