About being a student at the Nordic universities

This programme will allow you to participate in courses at the collaborating universities, which have been selected specifically with the aim of giving you a streamlined and 'state-of-the-art' MSc education in Plant Pathology.

Perhaps you are not familiar with the Nordic countries? The Nordic countries are known for high quality standards in education and research - based on long academic traditions. Teaching methods and learning methods are creative and innovative and require that you are very active, take initiative and can work both independently and in groups. Interdisciplinary studies and project-based activities are some of the characteristics of studying in the Nordic countries. Apart from attending lectures, students work together in groups where you will be expected to contribute actively to discussions as well as be capable of working independently.

The facilities are modern and include libraries, lecture, class and study rooms, labs, canteens - as well as student facilities. Computers are available at the libraries, and all students have free access to these facilities and the internet. The libraries are public, thus, all students can borrow materials for free. Information technology is improving constantly and allows access to extensive electronic databases, and virtual teaching is becoming an important tool in teaching.

The Universities in the Nordic countries have close relationships with the private sector. This entails the opportunity to create MSc thesis project with industry, if relevant.
