If the materials prepared for the visa is more cumbersome, then you have to wait longer time which usually takes 2-3 months.

Answer: You must pay tuition when you go to Sweden to study. The so-called "free language schools" are for those immigrants, refugees and settlers, and to foreign children remedial classes. But Chinese people could also participate in these free after-school remedial classes as long as he can express to the relevant departments his clear desire to learn.

3-2. I just wanted to go to the Nordic and the schools is not I / visa is not to me, how do?
Answer: Please check the following categories:
1, Undergraduate applicants— Unless you have passed the TISUS examination, you can not study in Sweden for your undergraduate studies even if you have high TOEFL.
2, Applicants for language courses— You can study in Sweden if you are interested to study language courses.
3, Swedish National University post-graduate courses applicants—Application to the national universities in Sweden is not very easy. In fact, no matter what country, the overwhelming majority of Chinese students are in college schools. If you do not know what the situation is if you want to apply for college, then I suggest you consider what we have in Stockholm University Business School --Bachelor's degree in Business Administration. Waiting period for the visa is relatively short and materials and visa requirements are relatively simple. Moreover, visa success rate is high.

3-3. Are Swedish also English-speaking?

Answer: English is very popular in Sweden. The rate of population using English is very high especially in cities. The most crucial factor why people in Sweden learn English is the television media. English programs in the television have Swedish subtitles so children can learn. Though some cannot speak in English, they can understand it.
