ere, the four Nordic countries refer to Denmark, Norway, Sweden, and Finland. It sounds like these countries are seemingly unpopular in studying abroad, but in fact, the Nordic countries are particularly free of tuition fees, quality benefits, and beautiful environments to attract international students to school. The town hall in Sweden hosting the Nobel dinner, the bronze statue of the mermaid in Denmark, the parliament square in Helsinki, Finland, and the Oslo in Norway called "the valley of God"... Which of the four Nordic countries do you choose to study abroad?

Studying in common in the four Nordic countries

The four Nordic countries have certain commonalities in the basic information of studying abroad. Li Wenjuan believes that they can be introduced in a unified manner. Of the four countries, except Denmark, the other three Nordic countries are currently exempt from tuition fees. In the case of tuition free, the local living expenses for one year are about 60,000 to 70,000 yuan. The tuition fees charged by Danish universities are basically between 50,000 and 6,000 yuan per year. In addition, when preparing a visa, the required guarantee is about 150,000 yuan. Recently, it has been said that Northern Europe will start to collect university tuition fees in September 2010. However, there is no official notice on this so far. Even if the news is true, it may not be until next year that it will be unified. In other words, the Finnish countries still implement the tuition-free policy.

Generally, the IELTS scores required by Chinese students vary according to the regulations of the applicants, but they are roughly at the level of 5.5~6.0.

Applicants who graduate from high school in China must take the college entrance examination. For Swedish universities, students who have achieved good grades in high school and who can provide good college entrance examination results are more popular. For Finnish universities, applicants are required to take a “pass exam” covering math, English and logic. Norwegian universities require all applicants studying in Norway to study in Norwegian language for one year in Norwegian language and enter the higher education system after passing the relevant language assessment.

Unify the materials that need to be prepared

If high school graduates are going to study in the Nordic countries, the following five items are necessary in the materials they need to prepare:

The first is a high school diploma, which proves that you have a high school education;

Secondly, the high school three-year transcript can well explain your learning performance in high school.

In addition, it is the college entrance examination transcript, which means that students must participate in the national college entrance examination, although there is no clear requirement for the scores required to reach the college entrance examination, but the higher the score, the more successful the chance of obtaining the offer;

The fourth is a personal resume that details his past personal circumstances, educational background, and practical experience or social experience within and outside the classroom;

Finally, it is a motivation letter, which clearly expresses why he wants to study abroad, what kind of school he wants to study, and preliminary outlines his future academic specialization direction and career development direction.

Generally speaking, the start of the Nordic universities is September each year, but there are also a small number of institutions that have a start-up course in February each year. This year's college entrance examination students, according to the self-study situation of the schools reported, can catch up with the beginning of September next year or the opening of individual colleges in February.内容提要：北欧四国在留学基本信息上有一定共通性，李文娟认为可以统一介绍。四个国家中，除了丹麦，另外三个北欧国家目前都免收学费……　　

在这里，北欧四国指的是丹麦、挪威、瑞典、芬兰。听上去这些国家仿佛是留学中的冷门国度，但其实，北欧国家尤以免收学费、优质福利、优美环境等吸引国际学生前往就学。瑞典举办诺贝尔晚宴的市政厅、丹麦的美人鱼铜像、芬兰赫尔辛基的议会广场、挪威有“上帝的山谷”之称的奥斯陆……北欧四国，你会选哪一个留学？

　　北欧四国的留学共同点

　　北欧四国在留学基本信息上有一定共通性，李文娟认为可以统一介绍。四个国家中，除了丹麦，另外三个北欧国家目前都免收学费。免学费情况下，一年在当地的生活费大约在6万~7万元人民币左右。丹麦的大学收取的学费基本在5万~6元万人民币/年。另外，准备签证时，所需的担保金约15万元人民币。近来有传出说2010年9月北欧要开始全面征收大学学费，不过到目前为止，尚没有对此确定的官方通知，就算消息属实，可能也要等到明年才会得到统一的确定。也就是说，目前芬挪瑞三国依然实行免学费政策。

　　一般中国学生所需提供的雅思成绩根据所申请学校的规定而有所不同，但大致都在5.5~6.0这个水平。

　　中国高中毕业的申请者都必须参加过高考。对瑞典大学来说，高中时成绩较好并能提供良好高考成绩的学生较受欢迎。对芬兰大学而言，申请者需要参加一项“通考”，内容涵盖数学、英文和逻辑。挪威的大学要求所有赴挪威就读本科学位的申请者在挪威当地学习一年的挪威语，在通过相关语言考核后进入高等教育体系。

　　统一需要准备的材料

　　高中毕业生如果要去北欧国家留学，在所需准备的材料中有以下五样是最基本的必备：

　　首先是高中毕业证，证明自己具备高中学历；

　　其次是高中三年的成绩单，能很好说明自己在高中时代的学习表现；

　　再者是高考成绩单，也就是说学生必须参加国内高考，尽管没有对所需达到高考分数线做明确规定，但成绩当然是越高越有成功获得offer的几率；

　　第四是个人简历，详细描述自己过去的个人情况、教育背景以及课内外的实践经验或社会经验；

　　最后是动机信，明确表达自己为何要去留学、希望去什么学校学习什么专业、初步勾勒出自己未来的学术专攻方向和职业发展方向。

　　一般而言，北欧的大学开学月份都是每年9月，但也有小部分院校会在每年2月设有开学的课程。今年的高考生，根据所报学校的自主开课情况，最早可以赶上明年9月或者个别院校2月的开学。
