Post subject: education in north europe

I have an associate degree in China, and I am doing a self-taught course to earn a bachelor degree within one year.

I plan to go to Sweden one year later for my master degree.

My question is: is education in north europe tuition free?

I met a girl in Malone's, she said she got her master drgree in Sweden several years ago, and the tuition is free, she only pay for the living expences. She said in countries like Sweden, Denmark, Finland, Norway, the education is tuition free!

Is that true? What about now?

I know UK is very expensive!

There is no tuition fee for studying in Sweden. See Study in Sweden for more info.

Many of the programs on Master level are taught in English.

It's true. Just have in mind that living expenses in Norway are higher than the other countries. But the Norwegians are nicer people though Wink

hi i used to study in Finland. The tuition was free for international students. Now it is still free for some universities - courses. Some courses, such as architecture, charge tuition fee. You d better check each university before you apply to make sure. Good luck!
