Enquire to study in the UK 
Countries such as the US, Canada and the UK are seen as bastions of higher education. If you’re willing to look past these popular study abroad destinations, Sweden is also home to innovative universities that offer students a world-class education.
The country’s government invests heavily in education, paving the way for the rise of research-intensive universities for aspiring researchers. There are part-time work opportunities for international students to support themselves as they work towards completing their degree, while the country also offers a high standard of living, further bolstering its appeal as a study abroad destination.
One such university that offers all this and more is Örebro University, which offers a wide range of master’s programmes to bolster your personal and professional development. It’s research spans no less than 36 different subjects across the humanities and social sciences, medicine and health, and science and technology fields.
Attesting to the university’s prowess are its rankings. Örebro University is ranked in the top 80 of the Times Higher Education (THE) Young University Rankings 2020 and in the top 400 THE World University Rankings 2021.
The university’s convenient location is also a major allure. Örebro is a bustling city home to panoramic woodlands and pristine nature while still being close to the town centre for all your modern needs. Despite Örebro’s modern appearance, the city is also home to popular attractions such as the Örebro Castle, an ancient castle made of weathered grey stones.
