Are there any
scholarships
available for
students in the ISEE
programme?
There may be a
limited number of
scholarships
available for
students in the ISEE
programme.
In Sweden,
the
Swedish Institute
grants hundreds of
scholarships every
year. The number
available varies
from year to year,
and competition is
keen. The
Global Grant
website provides
information about
other scholarships.
However, most
foreign students in
Sweden fund their
stays without
scholarships.
Are there any
tuition fees for
students in the ISEE
programme?
Beginning
with the autumn
semester 2011,
Sweden will be
introducing
application and
tuition fees for
some international
students who apply
for courses and
programmes at
universities and
university colleges.
For more information
please consult the
following webpage:
https://www.studera.nu.
There will
also be a charge for students from outside EU/EEA if they
choose to take a
degree in Denmark.
The tuition fee is
on the order of
€5000 per semester
but is not applying
to students that are
only taking one
semester in Denmark.
These rules are due
to the current
legislation in the
different countries
and may be subject
for change in the
future.
In Iceland there is a study fee on the order of €300
annually. Also,
there may be minor
compulsory fees to
the student union(s)
and fees for
insurances.
Students are encouraged to seek information on their
own for updated
information on fees
and insurances that
is valid to the
universities they
will spend time.
I'd like to know
some more about the
contents of the
education: which
courses are given at
KTH the first
semester for the
class starting in 2010?
See “Programme
overview” for range
of courses at the
participating
institutes.
Who am I to talk to
at DTU regarding the
specialisation
within Wind Energy?
See “Partner
universities” for
contact details.
Is the
“specialization
semester” the second
or the third term?
Specialisation
courses are taken
the second and the
third term.
Am I allowed to
apply to several
master programmes at
the same time?
Yes, but if you
apply to several
programmes through
www.studera.nu
you will have to
prioritise between
them.
I am concerned about
my grades. What
would be my chances
to get accepted to
the programme if my
grades are not top
level?
The selection
process for the ISEE
programme is based
on a total
evaluation of the
following selection
criteria: university,
GPA, course work
related to the
programme, thesis
proposal, relevant
working experiences
and references. It
is thus not easy to
give a direct answer
but rather you
should feel
encouraged to apply
if you expect to be
able to follow to
courses in the
programme.
How long will the
Nordic universities
be offering the
Nordic Master
programme?
The range of courses
and master
programmes are due
to change on a
regular basis. Some
courses and
programmes are only
offered for a few
years while others
have been around for
many years. It is
thus impossible to
know how long this
programme will be
active.
By the way, could
you explain about
job opportunities in
Innovative
and Sustainable Energy
Engineering?
The energy field is
an international and
dynamic area where
well-trained
engineers are in
demand, particularly
for engineers
exposed to practices
in the Nordic
countries.
Employment
opportunities are
expected to be
strong, as shown by
the experience
gained from related
programmes, as the
Sustainable Energy
Engineering programme
and other programmes
at the participating
universities.
How long will the
Nordic universities
be offering the
Nordic Master
programme?
The range of courses
and master
programmes are due
to change on a
regular basis. Some
courses and
programmes are only
offered for a few
years while others
have been around for
many years. It is
thus impossible to
know how long this
programme will be
active.
Do I need a visa?
Nationals in
the majority
of countries
outside the
EU require a
visa to
visit the
Nordic
countries.
As the first
semester of
the program
is in
Sweden, turn
to the
Swedish
Migration
Board
for further
information
about your
stay.
For the
following
semesters it
is important
that special
rules in the
different
Nordic
nations are
followed.
See the following links for information about
the rules in
Finland
and in
Iceland.

There
is
no
general
system
in
charge
of
student
accommodation,
and
Master
students
are
responsible
for
finding
their
own
lodgings.
Availability
of
rooms
and
flats
varies
from
one
place
to
another.
Unfortunately,
the
number
of
students
often
exceeds
the
number
of
rooms
than
higher
education
institution
has
to
offer.
Before
arriving
to
Sweden,
you
should
allow
plenty
of
time
to
make
all
the
necessary
arrangements.
You
can
start
by
contacting
the
Student
Union
at
KTH.
