An American I know was recently on Amerikanska and he was reading a thread about appyling for university.
Someone had written about that one can apply for the university and take classes like SAS (swedish) on the side. Is this true? They said that if you majored in political science most of those classes were in English and that as long as one was taking Swedish, the university should be okay with this. Is this true?
My friend called Stockholm University and they said that it was not true, then I called and they said that it was possible. Why the wrong answers? I have yet to get two same answers when I call there. Anyone know?

Personally I saw the thread sometime ago on Amerikanska and the person sounded like he didn't really know what the hell he was talking about and I wasn't even able to tell if he was a permanent resident here or what. I'd go down to the admissions office and talk to somebody there, because calling doesn't always link you up with somebody who knows. Make sure you get names of people you're talking to as well.
But EVERYBODY I have known who has made it to university, has passed through SFI (which that guy above said he hadn't even done) AND had to do the SAS AND svenska A and B first, or pass equivalency tests.

Yes that's what I thought as well. The exception I had heard was if the classes at university were to be in English. I wonder if this changes anything? Several classes for Political Science here in Sweden which was my major in college are offered in English. I would like to know if I could take them or do I have to take the national test first for Swedish.  |

Sabeine, You can also use this link to check what courses are offered in English: www.stockholmacademicforum.org/study/index_en.htmlI agree with Carolyn that the best way is to enquire directly from the university itself. Second-hand information is never really reliable. Unfortunately on forums well-meaning people do give the wrong information, or only partial information. Again and again I've read incorrect things and when I PM the person to ask, it turns out that often there was a lot more to the story than the one lined "Well they let me do it" that was in the forum. Good luck getting the information. It would be great if you could study here in English. |

The real problem I find with some forums is people spend SO much time trying to figure out how to do things fast or semi-legally or whatever, instead of just doing what they have to do, which would take even less time, if you calculate in all the energy put into looking for the quick fix. And as Aussie said, most of the time, you're not getting the full story anyway and when you do, it turns out to be nothing like what you thought the original situation was.  |
