Overview:

I had applied to 3 universities in Sweden on my own without any help from consultancies. With my percentage, I got into the University West.

Campus Life:

There is an International Office and Service Center which provides every details and answer any query. If any teacher is not available they will ask them to help us. The International Office provides complete information like if you have any healthcare issue then they will tell you where to proceed and they provide information regarding accommodation or if you want to get a job then how to proceed further. Overall it was a nice experience here and it helped me to explore more.

As I am interested in a Nursing degree Program in your institution, I don't have any Test of English Language result. However, I was once an undergraduate student of Medicine in Cyprus. Am I qualified for admission?

Simran Kumari

As an international student, you can arrange accommodation through your college's international student services office or housing department. They often provide resources and assistance in finding suitable accommodation, including on-campus residences, off-campus housing options, or homestays.
